New Holland paperback (stiff pictorial card), 2002, 208 pages. Revealing 77 secrets, this tourist companion uncovers the myths, legends and well-hidden history behind Tasmania's tourist-friendly facade, and is also a souvenir for past visitors. Divided into regions, it includes a map of Tasmania showing towns and reference points mentioned in the text. The smallest state of Australia, Tasmania is a picturesque island perfect for a drive or walk amongst its lush fields and stunning vistas. However, each excursion always presents a new question, such as 'what is the sawdust bridge actually made of?'; 'how did the Tasmanian Aboriginal people come to be using glass before white settlers arrived?' and 'is the Tasmanian tiger really extinct?' This is a different tourist companion for those interested in discovering the myths, legends and well-hidden history behind Tasmania's tourist-friendly facade, or a souvenir for past visitors. Divided into regions, the book includes a map of Tasmania showing the major towns and reference points mentioned in the text. Each entry ends with a brief description of how to reach its location.
