The Coast - Garry Richardson's Portland Municipality history: Scamander, Beaumaris, Ansons Bay, Eddystone Point & Musselroe Bay | 2020 [USED – HC]

The final volume in Garry Richardson's series on the history of the former Portland municipal area, covering the "forgotten sector" of Tasmania's north-eastern coast — Scamander, Beaumaris, The Gardens, Ansons Bay, Eddystone Point and Musselroe Bay. The book tells the story of settling this remote coastline: farming families crossing beaches by dray to reach market, "unbridgeable" rivers, extreme weather even into the early 1900s, soldier settlement schemes around Ansons Bay, and the lives of the Eddystone Point lighthouse keepers and their families — Eddystone Point itself first sighted by Abel Tasman in 1642, with its granite lighthouse built in 1889.

We also stock Up Country, another volume in this same Portland Municipality series, and The Bay, Richardson's history of nearby St Helens — see Related Products below.
