A series of essays that explore the mining of red ochre by Aboriginal Tasmanians from several angles, including

- the geology and vegetation of the Gog Range that contains the Toolumbunner ochre mine
- a detailed technical account of the excavation of Toolumbunner and the stones used to pulverise the red mineral.
