A photographic survey of the marine life found in the Tamar River and estuary in northern Tasmania. The Tamar is often thought of as a muddy, silty waterway — but beneath the surface it supports a surprising diversity of marine life, including weedy seadragons, seahorses and a wide range of other estuarine species.
Tasmanian artist James Voute has written this illustrated chapter book for children aged 8 to 11 years.

The autobiography of Bert Farquhar — former owner of Rushy Lagoon, Tasmania's largest farm, spanning nearly 22,000 hectares near Cape Portland on the state's far north-eastern tip. Rushy Lagoon has recently been in the national news — the sale of the property from the estate of New Zealand's Pye family to a UK forestry investment firm for over $100 million was approved by Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers on 8 July 2026, amid some controversy.
