Nymph Fishing in the Southern Hemisphere - R.H. Wigram | Facsimile Edition, Copy No. 45 | 1992
Added: Jul 26, 2026
Nymph Fishing in the Southern Hemisphere by RH Wigram was among the earliest works to address nymph fishing technique specifically in Australian and New Zealand conditions, at a time when the method — pioneered in England by G.E.M. Skues — was still a matter of controversy among traditional dry-fly anglers. Original editions are now very scarce; this is a numbered facsimile reprint.

Exiled – The Port Arthur Convict Photographs | Edwin Barnard | 2010 [USED – SC – Out of Print]
In the 1870s, as Port Arthur penal settlement was closing, someone photographed the remaining convicts. Those photographs survived. This book reproduces them — the actual faces of men transported to Van Diemen's Land from Britain and Ireland between the 1820s and the 1850s. Not paintings, not drawings, not reconstructions — photographs. You are looking at the real people.

Explorers of Western Tasmania 1815–1880 | C.J. Binks | 1980 [USED – HCDJ – Good]
C.J. Binks's history of the exploration of western Tasmania — focusing on the people who explored the region from 1815 through to 1880, covering those who pushed into some of the most difficult terrain in Australia. Western Tasmania resisted systematic European exploration longer than almost any other part of the Australian continent — its combination of dense rainforest, buttongrass plains, and the treacherous coastlines of Macquarie Harbour and the Gordon River made it genuinely impassable for early explorers.
