BUSH LIVES

Bush lives is a rich account of life and leisure in the Tasmanian back country. Myth, romance and bush lifestyles that have mostly ceased to be mix it with ‘townies’ taking the airs and speculators in scrip. Chance encounters with Tasmanian tigers (thylacines), the post-Christmas dash for the bush, tough lives in hunting camps, tragedy in mining camps and the everyday aspirations of ordinary people in remote places all flavour this book.
