Description

Sticks and Stones

Walking adventures following the trails of the Big River Nation and colonial surveyors.

Take a journey through time and into remote regions of Western Tasmania with Peter Murphy and four friends as they set out to follow the trails of the Big River Nation and colonial surveyors. With stunning photography and immersive prose, Murphy reflects on how this wild landscape has shaped the people who have travelled through it, and how they have shaped it in turn.

Murphy’s vivid descriptions of tramping in challenging terrain through scenes of spectacular beauty reflects his extensive experience as a professional surveyor, with a keen eye for environmental features and sensitivity for the Aboriginal presence in the region.

A must-have for those who appreciate history, adventure, and the wild beauty of Tasmania.
