East Coast History
The east coast of Tasmania was settled by the British around 200 years ago, many of the same families still live in the area. We also have had some exceptional people live in the area, such as Louisa Anne Meredith, prolific poet and artist (1812–1895).

The Society produces and sells a number of publications. You can get in contact with us to purchase books or get involved to become a part of the publishing process by proof-reading or helping in a number of other ways.
