In the 1870s, as Port Arthur penal settlement was closing, someone photographed the remaining convicts. Those photographs survived. This book reproduces them — the actual faces of men transported to Van Diemen's Land from Britain and Ireland between the 1820s and the 1850s. Not paintings, not drawings, not reconstructions — photographs. You are looking at the real people.

C.J. Binks's history of the exploration of western Tasmania — focusing on the people who explored the region from 1815 through to 1880, covering those who pushed into some of the most difficult terrain in Australia. Western Tasmania resisted systematic European exploration longer than almost any other part of the Australian continent — its combination of dense rainforest, buttongrass plains, and the treacherous coastlines of Macquarie Harbour and the Gordon River made it genuinely impassable for early explorers.
C.J. Binks's history of the exploration of western Tasmania, focusing on the people who explored the region from the earliest European contact through to the opening up of the west coast mining country — Jorgenson, Hellyer, Frankland, Gould, Wedge, Goodwin and others who pushed into some of the most difficult terrain in Australia.

The thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, was hunted to extinction by humans — the last wild animal was shot in 1930, and the last in captivity died in 1936. This book tells that story for younger readers, part of an eight-book series in which evolutionary biologist and TV presenter Ben Garrod covers animals lost across the history of life on Earth.

Philip Kuruvita's twenty-year photographic portrait project — 128 pages of black and white photographs capturing the people of Launceston between 1995 and 2015. In situ portraiture of a community over two decades gives this book a different character from a commemorative or historical photo album.
