Ruth Park — celebrated author and a Member of the Order of Australia — takes readers on a tour of Tasmania, from Hobart and Port Arthur to Launceston and the state's rural heartland. Illustrated throughout with original sketches by Cedric Emanuel, also honoured with the Medal of the Order of Australia for services to art, whose work is held today by the National Gallery of Australia.
The book covers Hobart (Anglesea Barracks, Salamanca Place, Constitution Dock, Mount Wellington, Battery Point), the road to Port Arthur, Richmond, the East Coast (Bicheno, Coles Bay, Freycinet, St Helens), the North West (Stanley, Burnie, Ulverstone, Devonport), Launceston, and the Northern Midlands — including our own Campbell Town, along with Ross, Oatlands, Bothwell, Hamilton, New Norfolk, and the historic properties of Woolmers, Entally House, Clarendon and Franklin House.
