A new local history of Oatlands and the surrounding area — compiled by the Oatlands District Historical Society. Oatlands sits in Tasmania's Southern Midlands on the Midland Highway corridor, about 85km north of Hobart and 40 minutes south of Campbell Town. Its main street of intact colonial sandstone buildings is one of the most complete examples of colonial-era architecture in Australia.
Written by John Henderson, this 1832 account is typical of the "observations" literature of its era — firsthand impressions of the colonies of New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land, covering the geography, natural history, people and conditions of the young settlements.
