the cover of volume 1

This book, the long awaited second volume covering Tasmania’s mountains over 1,100 metres in height, which covers the west and south west of the state, is absolutely gorgeous.

This volume is considerably longer than the first, with good introductory essays on animals, plants, geology and weather.

As with the first volume, it has profiles on all mountains in the region over 1,100 metres, opening lots of options for peaks you might have glimpsed from afar or seen on a map, but weren’t quite sure about how to get there or what the terrain might be like.
