A history of Tasmania's Heemskirk and Dundas mining fields.
The Heemskirk mining field was established during the 1880-81 boom amidst great optimism, but by 1885 the field had failed. The Comstock field showed the same potential but it failed also. The same happened to Dundas. This book traces the history of these fields and the communities whose fate was inextricably bound up with them.
