Download or read book The Balfour Correspondent written by James Dryburgh and published by . This book was released on 2017-09 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In his compelling dialogue with a sparky adolescent living in a now-vanished Tasmanian mining town a hundred years ago, Dryburgh gives us a powerful sense of the forces that still do battle to shape our existence in this country, and on this earth.The glimpses Sylvia gives us of her too-short life were framed by far vaster forces - of migration, colonisation and settlement, of mining interests and endeavours to exploit the wilderness, of nature itself that she encountered in its near-unsullied state along the Frankland River. Her life was shadowed, too, by the things she does not mention - violence against the land's original inhabitants, by the wars that were building far away.In Dryburgh's sensitive engagement, this small female voice, so solitary that it sought connection through missives to a newspaper editor hundreds of miles away, reminds us that the settlers' place on this continent was never a given, and that sustainable existence on it requires acknowledgement of its fragility, and our own."Caroline Brothers, author of The Memory Stones and Hinterland.

Book excerpt: "In the eight years since the release of the first edition there has been much ongoing study and analysis of plants, both in Tasmania and worldwide. This has resulted in a number of changes to classifications at family, genus and species level and I have endeavoured to update the information accordingly. Nomenclature is up-to-date as recorded in 'A Census of Vascular Plants of Tasmania', 2012 edition, which follows the system used by Cronquist (1981) and is how the botanical collection at the Tasmanian Herbarium is arranged."--Preface to 2nd ed.

Download or read book Maatsuyker Through Our Eyes written by Paul Richardson and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We had seen the island from a distance, read as much as we could about the island's history and heard about all the grass. We knew the scenery would be spectacular, the Southern Ocean swells an awesome sight, the wind a constant and that we would be alone. We did think the cold and wind might get us down at times but never having been on Maatsuyker, we couldn't quite imagine what it might be like. We just knew it would be different - which is in part, why we wanted to go. We went without any real expectations or imaginings, and found it was wild, spectacular and grand. We also found calm, peacefulness and joy.Island life was physically hard compared to home, but we thrived in that environment, living moment to moment. Never alone, the island birds were our companions and the seals' antics made us feel part of a family, bringing our own family closer; and through our care the lighthouse and island become our friends too.

Download or read book South Coast Track written by John Chapman and published by . This book was released on 2017-10 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contains comprehensive track notes for walking the South Coast Track in Tasmania. The guide has 9 -1:50,000 colour topographic maps of the entire track, 50 colour photographs plus gradient profiles of the track. This is an all colour production with full track notes for both directions along the trail. The colour topographic maps and notes have been colour coded for each direction to reduce confusion about which notes are currently being followed. This is one of the world's great wilderness walks and takes 6 to 8 days to walk. Most plan for 7 days and it is suggested to carry one spare days food in case of river floods causing delays. For those wishing to explore further than the South Coast Track, then the larger guide book South West Tasmania which also includes the South Coast Track should be considered. This book is actually a subset of that larger guide and we would expect walkers to use one or the other but not both. Note that the maps in South West Tasmania for the South Coast Track are a smaller scale (1:100,000) and there is less detail in the track notes as that book is designed for more experienced walkers.
