Written by Dr Eric Guiler, who spent decades researching the thylacine and led the last official search expeditions for surviving animals in Tasmania. This book traces the thylacine from fossil evidence and Aboriginal rock art through to the bounty hunting era, the last captive animals at Hobart Zoo, and the searches conducted after the species was declared extinct.

Building Tasmania's hydroelectric power system was one of the largest and most ambitious engineering undertakings in the state's history, carried out over nearly a century in some of the most remote and difficult terrain in the country. Ticklebelly Tales tells that story through the people who actually did the work — the construction workers, engineers and families who lived in the temporary townships built around the dam and power station sites, often in genuinely harsh conditions, from 1910 through to 2006.
