Professor Henry Reynolds (History, University of Tasmania) on the history of Tasmania from the arrival of European maritime expeditions in the late eighteenth century, through to the modern day. Utilising key themes to bind his narrative, Reynolds explores how geography created a unique economic and migratory history for Tasmania, quite separate to the mainland experience. He offers an astute analysis of the island’s economic and demographic reality, by noting that this facilitated the survival of a rich heritage of colonial architecture unique in Australia, and allowed the resident population to foster a powerful web of kinship.
