Book Description
A breathtaking celebration of Instagram's premier solo female travel community, featuring 200 striking photographs—most of them all-new—plus empowering messages and practical tips for solo travelers. “For those with passports full of stories, this book carries you away to every dreamy corner of the earth. I can’t stop flipping through these visually incandescent pages to see where I’m capable of traveling to next!”—Caila Quinn, The Bachelor contestant and lifestyle and travel influencer From backpackers in Peru to artists in Berlin to storytellers in Morocco, Dame Traveler celebrates the diversity and bravery of women from around the world who are not afraid to think (and live) outside the box. The revolutionary Dame Traveler Instagram account was founded by Nastasia Yakoub, who was born into a strict Chaldean-Middle Eastern community where women are expected to marry young and put aside other personal ambitions. But at the age of twenty, Nastasia embarked on a solo trip to South Africa to volunteer at an orphanage in Cape Town, which sparked a love of world travel. Recognizing a void in the travel industry, she founded Dame Traveler, the first female travel community on Instagram, now more than half a million strong. Nastasia herself has traveled to sixty-three countries on solo adventures, sharing colorful photos of her tantalizing travels along the way. Dame Traveler celebrates these women with a photographic collection of 200 stunning images paired with inspiring captions, 80% of which have never been seen on the Instagram account. Organized into sections on architecture, culture, nature, and water, each entry features travel information, plus tips, advice, unique solo-travel experiences, and wisdom from contributing globe-trotters to embolden the next generation of Dame Travelers.

Pubs and Publicans of Tasmania's Old West
Author: Patrick Howard
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780648028680
Category : Gormanston (Tas.)
Languages : en
Pages : 224
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.

Pages : 224
Book Description
"Jackey Stevens doesn't want anything Mishter. If Jack starts wanting, there is no end to it."Clarence John Lyell Stevens - Jackey - "can't bear to be anywhere near others," Queenstown old-timers told Geoff Harwood. "He won't talk to anybody." Yet Jackey did talk to Geoff.Across a creek and through a dense thicket of coral fern, Jackey's distinctive footprints led Geoff to Jack's camp, a ramshackle structure shared with the Brown Serpent. Geoff became a regular visitor, and somehow Jack always knew if Geoff was coming. He would stoke up his tiny fire and, in its feeble glow, Geoff slowly pieced together Jack's remarkable, tragic, yet strangely uplifting story. The Last Hermit is testament to a most extraordinary friendship. "An un-put-downable tale flows effortlessly from Geoff Harwood's pen."-Pete Hay

South Coast Track
Author: John Chapman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781920995164
Category : Hiking
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
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.
