Bag om My Home In Tasmania

My Home In Tasmania: Or Nine Years In Australia is a memoir written by Louisa Anne Meredith in 1853. The book is a vivid account of her experiences living in Tasmania, Australia for nine years with her husband, Charles Meredith, who was appointed to a government position there. Meredith describes the natural beauty of Tasmania, including its mountains, forests, and wildlife, as well as the challenges of living in a remote and unfamiliar place. She writes about the interactions she had with the indigenous people of Tasmania, known as the Palawa, and their culture and traditions. The book also includes detailed descriptions of the daily life of the settlers in Tasmania, including their homes, clothing, food, and social customs. Meredith also discusses the political and economic situation in Tasmania during her time there, including the impact of the transportation of convicts to the colony. Overall, My Home In Tasmania provides a unique and personal perspective on life in colonial Australia, and is a valuable historical document for those interested in the history of Tasmania and the early years of Australian settlement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
