Lost Mines of the Tamar
Author: Nigel Burch
Publisher: BookPOD
ISBN: 0987371347
Category : Asbestos mines and mining
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Forgotten mines, forgotten industries…We’ve all heard of the Beaconsfield gold rush, but who remembers the rush to asbestos, or the long search for coal? Do you remember sandsoap, or Loira and Dilston bricks? Did you know the best ochre in Australia is around the Tamar, and we used to have an ochre-based natural paint industry? This is the history of our great-grandparents’ toils, and the mines (including gold) that were forgotten.

Echoes from the Wild West Coast of Tasmania, 1894-1901
Author: Rev. Frederick George Copeland
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780646580975
Category : Gold mines and mining
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
"This material is taken from authorised family records of the Reverend Frederick George Copeland, a Church of England pastor on the west coast of Tasmania, 1894-1901. His arrival coincided with the mining boom and he travelled many unmade tracks by foot to reach the miners and their families. This book evokes the mining spirit of the early Australian gold rushes around the leases of Tasmania. The men lived hard lives; there were wild and raucous times when they were not working. Throughout these recollections, a sense of what living on the west coast was like. Other historical events and places are also background to this setting. It was still a time of convict stories, wild rivers and tall gorges, bushfires and lost explorers."--Introd.

A History of Tasmania, from Its Discovery in 1642 to the Present Time
Author: James Fenton
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Tasmania
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
James Fenton (1820-1901) was born in Ireland and emigrated to Tasmania (then known as Van Diemen's Land) with his family in 1833. He became a pioneer settler in an area on the Forth River and published this history of the island in 1884. The book begins with the discovery of the island in 1642 and concludes with the deaths of some significant public figures in the colony in 1884. The establishment of the colony on the island, and the involvement of convicts in its building, is documented. A chapter on the native aborigines gives a fascinating insight into the attitudes of the colonising people, and a detailed account of the removal of the native Tasmanians to Flinders Island, in an effort to separate them from the colonists. The book also contains portraits of some aboriginal people, as well as a glossary of their language.
