This
is the authentic story of the first abortive settlement on the
West Tamar, merging in the background history of some convicts
and free settlers whose descendants are still in the area. It
highlights their encounters with aborigines and bushrangers, and
of their efforts to subdue the land. In a humorous and easy-to-read
style it describes the Beaconsfield Gold Rush and the orcharding
boom which affected district after district and brought a new
wave of settlers to join the early settlers of the West Tamar. THE WEST TAMAR PEOPLE ISBN 1 876261013 Retail Price $21.95 |
