More Historical Stories of Tasmania's West Coast - Les Morley

A deeply thorough and heavily illustrated collection of regional accounts, transport milestones, and first-hand narratives documenting the booming pioneer era of western Tasmania.

Compiled by authoritative local historian L.J. (Les) Morley, More Historical Stories of Tasmania's West Coast serves as an invaluable follow-up volume to his highly popular local history records. This extensive work brings together decades of historical research, tracking the raw development of remote wilderness settlements and the rugged communities that forged a living on the coast.

The text moves beyond broad academic overviews to focus on real local details: the early shops, hotels, regional characters, and the immense engineering feats of the early mining, timber, road, and rail transport networks that connected Queenstown, Zeehan, and surrounding outposts. Illustrated throughout with rare archival photographs from the author’s extensive private collection, this book provides a vital pictorial record of early industrial Tasmania.

This brand-new copy is a critical reference addition for industrial heritage researchers, Tasmanian transport enthusiasts, family genealogists, and collectors of regional wilderness history.
