Book Description
The late 19th-century mining boom on Tasmania¿s west coast created a strong demand for accommodation. Consequently there was also a boom in the number of hotels established in the Queenstown, Gormanston, Strahan and Zeehan regions. Unfortunately many people regarded these hotels as grog shops conducted by unscrupulous publicans who were out to make money from the miners they served. This book traces the history of these hotels and shows that, in fact, many were important centres for socialising, relaxing and facilitating a sense of community. Pubs and publicans of Tasmania¿s old west is as much a product of the author¿s lifetime experiences as it is of research.

Book Description
Tasmania's wild West Coast contained some of the most fascinating railways and tramways ever constructed in Australia. Built to tap the fabulous mineral wealth of mines such as Mount Bischoff and Mount Lyell, the remarkable engineering feats of these iron roads in the wilderness became the stuff of legend. Through the intriguing memories of locomotive enginemen, track gangers, 'railway children' and adventurous travellers - complimented by a wonderful collection of photographic images - Railways of Tasmania's Wild West tells the story of life in one of Australia's most enchanting regions.
