The second volume in Sarah Rackham's three-volume series documenting the construction villages built by the Hydro-Electric Commission during Tasmania's great dam-building era. Volume Two covers four distinct HEC villages — Butlers Gorge, near Lake King William in the upper Derwent catchment; Bronte Park, on the Central Plateau near Bronte Lagoon; Trevallyn, the hydro suburb built on the hills above Launceston to house workers for the Trevallyn Power Station; and Wayatinah, a construction village in the southern Central Plateau.
