Willow Court Flight - by Sandra Potter
New Norfolk, Tasmania
Invalid Depot. Lunatic Asylum. Hospital for the Insane. Mental Diseases Hospital … Dubious Magnet for Tourists. Intractable Problem for Council …
The Portland Memorial Hall - by Rachel Edwards
St Helens, Tasmania
Quiet, and closed many days, it is a hall that bursts open for music, for fires, for municipal fury. For flower shows, art shows and rock bands returning home. And the market, choirs, meetings, sport …
Apple Suite - by Danielle Wood
Glen Huon, Tasmania
”You’ll see pickers and picnickers, returned servicemen and brides, young buildings all raw-planked and surrounded by saplings, hay carts piled high, blossom-filled vistas – a hundred thin slices of once-upon-a-time light displayed in deliberately mismatched frames …”
Boom and Bust in the Gaiety - by Gabrielle Lis
Zeehan, Tasmania

Trove - by Jeanette M Thompson
Rowella, Tasmania
The villages of the West Tamar municipality dot the shore, like a string of pearls, from Launceston to the sea. We thought this valley was Australia’s best-kept secret when we discovered it …
Blackbird - by Magdalena Lane
Sorell, Tasmania
A story inspired by women’s stories and celebrates the role of the community hall as
a vital and democratic site that supports the continued sharing of traditional knowledge …
Layers of Liffey - by Bert Spinks
Liffey, Tasmania
It’s not an easy walk, but if you haul yourself up Drys Bluff, you’ll get a sense of where the Liffey River carves its course through the bush, running parallel to a grey road, travelling east …
Music for the Walls that Watch Us Grow - by Stephanie Eslake
Stanley, Tasmania
I return to the Stanley Town Hall – a pillar of its remote community on the north-west coast, and a pillar of my memory as a young Tasmanian growing a connection to our heart-shaped island …
