A history and description of the Huon River district south of Hobart, written by Anne Stafford Bird under her married name Mrs Arthur H. Garnsey and published by Whitcombe & Tombs, undated but around 1947.

This report was produced just five years before the thylacine was officially declared extinct in 1986, at a time when debate about whether any animals might survive was still active.
