The Legends of Hunter Island | Pauline Buckby | 1990s [NEW – SC]

Pauline Buckby's history of Hunter Island — the remote island in the western entrance to Bass Strait, off the north-west tip of Tasmania near Woolnorth. Hunter Island has a rich and varied history — early Aboriginal occupation, sealers in the early colonial period, the wrecks of boats and aircraft on its treacherous shores, notorious sea captains who worked the western Bass Strait passages, and the island lessees who farmed it across the 19th and 20th centuries.

At 200 pages with black and white photographs, this is a small dedicated history of one of Bass Strait's more remote and lesser-known islands.
