Tasmanian tapestry

Shows some of the highlights of Tasmania’s scenery. Pictures the many threads which combine to form the tapestry of life in the State of Tasmania - a pattern composed of high, snowcapped mountains, lakes, fast streams, hop fields, orchards, towns and cities rich in colonial history: of fast developing secondary industries, great mineral resources and expanding hydro-electric schemes.
