Stories of the first air crossing of Bass Strait - between mainland Australia and Tasmania - and those who followed Lieutenant Long making it possible for regular air services to be established across Bass Strait. James R. Boag structures this book as a year-by-year chronicle of key events in Bass Strait aviation history, from 1914 to 1956, including aviation disasters.
Patsy Adam-Smith collects the stories and traditions of Australia's railway workers — a subject close to her own upbringing as the child of Victorian railway workers, and one she returned to throughout her writing career. This was one of her earliest books, published not long after she left Hobart.

Les Morley's pictorial history of trams and trolley buses in Tasmania — covering the systems that operated in Hobart, Launceston and other Tasmanian centres from the late 19th century through to the end of electric tram and trolleybus operation. Tasmania had a more extensive tram network than many Australians realise — Hobart's tramway system operated from 1893 to 1960, Launceston had its own network, and trolleybuses continued in Hobart into the 1960s.
L.J. Morley's history of Tasmania's working trucks from 1909 to 1970 - from Mt Lyell mining trucks and Huon apple trucks to Hobart's fire engines and wartime army vehicles, with hundreds of photographs.
