Limited Edition To 1,000 Copies
"A History of Green Ponds by T. R. Macleod, published in Hobart in 1962 to mark the centenary of local government in the municipality, is a detailed and affectionate account of one of Tasmania's early settled districts, now known as Kempton. Drawing upon official records, early maps, and local memory, Macleod traces the development of the district from its beginnings as a colonial outpost through to a settled rural community shaped by agriculture, transport, and civic life.
The work places particular emphasis on the early land grants and pioneering families, carefully documenting the individuals who established farms, built homes, and laid the foundations of the district's institutions. Through biographical sketches, historical anecdotes, and references to key buildings and enterprises, the book reconstructs the social and economic fabric of Green Ponds across the nineteenth century, offering valuable insight into the rhythms of rural Tasmanian life.
Issued in a limited edition of 1,000 copies, this publication stands as both a commemorative volume and an important piece of regional historiography. Rich in local detail and supported by period illustrations, it holds enduring appeal for collectors of Tasmanian history, genealogists, and those with an interest in early colonial settlement and municipal development in Australia."
