An illustrated history of New Town — the inner Hobart suburb north of the CBD, covering the period from 1840 to 1940. New Town has one of the more distinctive histories of Hobart's inner suburbs — it was the site of the New Town Farm, early colonial institutions, and the gradual development of residential and commercial life north of the city centre across the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Les Morley's pictorial history of trams and trolley buses in Tasmania — covering the systems that operated in Hobart, Launceston and other Tasmanian centres from the late 19th century through to the end of electric tram and trolleybus operation. Tasmania had a more extensive tram network than many Australians realise — Hobart's tramway system operated from 1893 to 1960, Launceston had its own network, and trolleybuses continued in Hobart into the 1960s.

Ron Fellowes's account of riding his 1910 FN motorcycle from Kathmandu to Liège — the Belgian city where the bike was originally manufactured 102 years earlier — covering 14,600 kilometres through 15 countries over eight months. The FN (Fabrique Nationale) was a pioneering Belgian motorcycle with no gears, inadequate brakes and pedal assistance — making every day on the road a physical challenge that had nothing to do with the mechanical sophistication of modern motorcycling.
A history of the first convict settlement of Norfolk Island, which was quite unlike the subsequent second settlement when the island was used as a place of secondary punishment for transported convicts.
