A detailed history of north-west and western Tasmania from 1825 to 1900, written by Kerry Pink and published in 1990. The book covers the settlement and development of the region across three quarters of a century — from the earliest European exploration of the north-west coast through the establishment of towns, farms, industries and communities across the region.
Annie Baxter (later Dawbin, 1816–1905) sailed for Van Diemen's Land in 1834 as the young wife of an army officer stationed in Hobart Town and Launceston. This edition from her extensive diaries presents her memories of Tasmania, alongside her later years at the Macleay River and New England districts of New South Wales and Port Fairy in Victoria's Western District, covering 1834 to 1848.
