Four local history booklets on Bellerive, on Hobart's Eastern Shore, published by the Bellerive Historical Society. Originally settled in the 1820s and known as "Kangaroo Point", the area was renamed Bellerive in the 1830s, and became the hub of eastern-shore ferry contact with Hobart.
Beneath the Mountain traces South Hobart from its Aboriginal and convict-era origins — including the Cascades Female Factory and industries along the Hobart Rivulet such as the Cascade Brewery, milling, tanning and even shell necklace and wombat coat making — through to its rebuilding after the devastating 1967 bushfires and its development into the friendly, close-knit suburb it is today.

A photographic survey of the marine life found in the Tamar River and estuary in northern Tasmania.
