Louisa Anne Meredith's account of her life in Tasmania was
published in 1852. She was an experienced traveller, and this work
is remarkable for being the first detailed account by a woman of
life in the colony. Its shrewd observations and descriptive
personal narrative make it an engaging read, as well as providing a
valuable historical record. A keen botanist and artist, Meredith
describes the island's natural life in great detail in beautiful
and evocative passages. The first volume covers the journey to the
island and her initial impressions of it and provides fascinating
examples of colonial attitudes in the period. In Volume 2 she
provides more anecdotes of her life, including descriptions of the
animals and journeys within the island, and also covers more social
issues, looking at religion and custom in the colony. For more
