Book excerpt: This report provides a historical background of the Hobart Town Rivulet as an historically significant precinct and examines, establishes and explains its uses, influences and rise and decline in importance and worth within the development of the township. It identifies those elements residual today via field work and comparative analysis of the historical information and locates and identifies existing components along the rivulet and establishes their role and significance within the historical context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exhibition statement: "The Hobart Rivulet is one of three factors - the others being a safe anchorage in a deep-water harbour and the original Hunter Island - which led David Collins to decide on the location of Hobart in 1804. Since then the Rivulet has played a significant part in Hobart's history and development. There are numerous studies of aspects of the rivulet (water supply, flour mills, breweries, floods, modifications of the stream bed, etc.), all illustrated with original maps, photographs and the occasional view. Never before, however, has an attempt been made to show the rivulet through the eyes of artists who captured the waterway in its various moods and uses over time. The works displayed in this exhibition offer a visual journey, from the waterfalls within the foothills of Mt Wellington down through the fern-glades and into the Cascade Valley with its mills and bridges, then into the town environment with its underground bridges and man-made deviations which turn the rivulet into a subterranean ditch flowing on its way to its final destination at the Derwent River. They encourage the viewer to see, to wonder, to question and to search for further knowledge. The exhibition includes more than forty works by seventeen artists - oil paintings, watercolours, pencil drawings, etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts - as well as numerous photographs from the State Library's collections, telling the story of the Rivulet from 1845 to the present day. This exhibition is not a comprehensive history of the Rivulet during European settlement. It is a collage, bringing together a range of artists, periods, media and viewpoints to tell many of the diverse stories of the Rivulet." -- State Library of Tasmania website.

Download or read book Reminiscences of Early Hobart Town 1804 1810 written by John Pascoe Fawkner and published by Banks Society Publications. This book was released on 2012 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Pascoe Fawkner arrived in the Derwent with David Collins’ party in February 1804, and watched the birth of the settlement and its fight to survive during its e arly years. More than sixty years later he returned to Hobart Town to interview its early pioneers and to prepare his memoirs of those times.Fawkner’s memories were not always accurate (he was a boy when he arrived), and some of his accounts of events were based on hearsay or oral history. Nevertheless, his memoir is a valuable historical record, containing much information not found elsewhere. Unlike most other surviving accounts of early Hobart Town, it is written from the perspective of the free settler, and provides an insight into many aspects of daily life: encounters with Aborigines and bushrangers; fire, starvation and other hard ships of life on the land.It reflects what ordinary people thought, felt or believed, and adds a valuable human dimension to the scanty official records of the period.
