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

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 Tasmanian local history reference available from The Book Cellar. 

This copy is the softcover edition, signed by the author. (The hardcover edition is also available — see our separate listing if you prefer the more durable format.) At 3.5kg, postage costs for this large format book are significant. While we can post the book, it is more suited to collecting in person, so select free in-store pickup if you are visiting Campbell Town.
