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. In Volume 2 she provides more anecdotes of
her life, including descriptions of the animals she encounters and
journeys made within the island. She also covers more social
issues, looking at religion and custom in the colony among the
settlers and the natives, and closing the book with an examination
of Tasmania's industry and trades. For more information on this
