The O'Connors of Connorville – Pioneers of Tasmania's Fine Wool Industry | Alison Alexander | 2017 [NEW – SC]

A history of the O'Connor family of Connorville — one of the great pastoral families of the Tasmanian Midlands, and pioneers of the fine wool industry that brought Tasmania international recognition.

Roderic O'Connor arrived in Van Diemen's Land from Ireland in 1824 and with his young sons built a pastoral empire centred on Connorville near Cressy. The family became leaders of Tasmania's superfine wool industry — O'Connor wool bales, stamped with the distinctive ROC brand, have broken world record prices for superfine wool. The sixth generation of the family continues to farm Connorville today.

Written by Alison Alexander — author of the Companion to Tasmanian History. The hardcover edition is also available from The Book Cellar.
