On the Mountain (1996) – Peter Dombrovskis, Richard Flanagan, & Jamie Kirkpatrick [Softcover]

A highly sought-after multi-disciplinary study of Hobart's iconic mountain, kunanyi / Mount Wellington. Published in 1996 by West Wind Press, this volume explores the mountain through three distinct, powerful lens: an evocative literary essay by Booker Prize-winning Tasmanian author Richard Flanagan, 50 vibrant landscape photographs by legendary wilderness photographer Peter Dombrovskis, and a detailed ecological natural history survey by Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick.

Why this volume is so sought after:

• This was the final book Peter Dombrovskis worked on before his tragic death in Tasmania's Western Arthur Range in March 1996, making it a vital, historic piece of his visual legacy.
• Literary & artistic crossover: Highly prized by collectors of Richard Flanagan material, mapping his deep lifelong connection to the rugged landscapes of Tasmania.
