The Lost Province of Tasmania's West Coast – Hardcover Edition | Lou Rae | 2024 | Signed by Author [NEW – HC]

Lou Rae's comprehensive record of Tasmania's west coast — the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company towns of Queenstown, Gormanston, Linda and Strahan, and the communities that built up around the west coast mining industry from the late 19th century through the 20th.

At 402 large-format pages (25cm x 35cm) with photographs throughout and a full index, The Lost Province combines social and industrial history with a genealogical record — documenting the families who worked the mines, the railways, the smelters and the supporting industries across the west coast.

A valuable resource for family historians tracing connections to west coast communities, and for anyone with a serious interest in the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company and its era.  Lou Rae also wrote The Emu Bay Railway (1997) — another west coast reference available from The Book Cellar.

This copy is the hardcover edition of Lost Province  — the more durable format for a reference work of this size and weight, and the edition to choose if this is going into a permanent collection.

The softcover edition is also available at $99.95 — see our separate listing if you prefer that format. At 3.5kg, postage costs for this large format book are significant.
