J.S. Cumpston's history of the ships that visited Macquarie Island and the men who sailed them — from the earliest sealers and whalers through the Mawson expeditions and the early ANARE scientific resupply voyages. Macquarie Island, situated roughly halfway between Tasmania and Antarctica in the Southern Ocean, has been administered by Tasmania since 1900 and is now a World Heritage site.

David Scholes's account of fly fishing the Macquarie River — widely regarded as Tasmania's premier mayfly river, which flows through the Northern Midlands to join the South Esk near Longford.
Written during his long-term psychiatric incarceration, this 398-page softcover autobiography provides a deeply unsettling but detailed look into the life, brilliant scientific career, and mental descent of Dr Rory Jack Thompson. In 1983, while serving as a principal research scientist for the CSIRO in Hobart, Thompson was arrested for the notorious murder of his wife, later being found not guilty on the grounds of insanity.
