The beautiful idyllic island of Tasmania found that personal testimony was
the best way to increase tourist numbers, and these continued to grow each year
at a steady rate.
In 1913 the Tasmanian Government Railway Department issued 'A Guide to
Tasmania: The Premier Health Resort', which was not intended as an advertisement
of the state, but as a guide to those who were visiting, showing them the various
means of getting to Tasmania, the costs, and advice on places to visit.
It provides the reader with an accommodation directory, and details Hobart,
Launceston and their surrounds. Places on the west coast, as well as those on
the Western Line are also covered. Information is included on caves, rivers and
lakes, hotels, railway lines, and other useful information for tourists. There
is a detailed map and numerous photographs.
High quality scanned images of the whole of the original book. This CD has been
bookmarked for easy navigation, and pages can be searched, browsed, enlarged
and printed out if required.
