Christine Fraser talks to twelve politically involved Tasmanian women. Softcover, 2008, 290 pages, used, out of print.
A fold-out laminated field guide to the scats of Tasmania's native mammals — printed life-size so you can hold it next to what you've found on the track and make a direct comparison. Covers species including wombat, Tasmanian devil, quoll, wallaby, possum, bandicoot and echidna.
William A. Bayley's history of the Port Arthur railway — Australia's first railway, built across the Tasman Peninsula using convict labour in the 1830s. What made it remarkable — and what visitors to the Tasman Peninsula still find hard to believe — is that it was not steam powered. Convicts pushed the carriages along the track by hand, running behind and pushing, or sitting in seats at the rear and using their feet against the ground.
A history of Port Arthur, the convict settlement on the Tasman Peninsula that operated from 1830 to 1877. Maggie Weidenhofer covers the establishment and daily operation of the station, the people held there, and its place in Tasmania's convict heritage.
