Art

The complete six-volume set of The Endemic Flora of Tasmania — one of the most significant works of botanical art and science produced in Australia during the 20th century. The plates were painted by Margaret Stones, botanical artist to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, who spent years in Tasmania documenting the island's endemic plant species in watercolour. The accompanying text and ecological notes were written by Winifred Curtis, the foremost Tasmanian botanist of her era.

A close study of the 186 carved decorations on the Ross Bridge — the convict-built sandstone bridge that has spanned the Macquarie River at Ross since 1836, and one of the most visited historic sites in Tasmania. The carvings were the work of Daniel Herbert, a transported convict who was a stonemason by trade.
