Now and Then

Robin Sinclair lives in the Adelaide Hills, a region not unlike the north-west coast of Tasmania where she grew up. Her haiku, poems and paintings record what she observes and loves. In the second half of this book, she has used her imagination to bring to life the stories of some of her pioneer ancestors from the time, when Tasmania was Van Diemen's Land, and 'the beautiful island at the end of the world' was also one its most remote and scary places.
