Historic Tasmanian Mountain Huts

Historic Tasmanian Mountain Huts details the introduction of portable dry plate cameras in the late 1870s, marking the beginning of a golden age of Tasmanian landscape photography.

With cameras on their backs, adventurers explored the wilds of Tasmania, recording not just the dramatic physical features they found but also the typically rough shelters of the miners, hunters, stockmen and piners who lived or worked in the bush.
