1972 The Tasmanian Tramp Nos. 20-23 Hobart Walking Club Mountaineering Book

The Tasmanian Tramp
Bound Volume Includes Issues Numbered 20-23
Journal Of The Hobart Walking Club
Published by The Hobart Walking Club : Hobart 1972 - 1979

" Bound together in this handsome hardcover volume are Issues 20-23 of The Tasmanian Tramp, the official journal of the Hobart Walking Club, published throughout 1972. Produced during a formative period in Tasmania's bushwalking and conservation history, these journals capture the spirit of wilderness exploration at a time when many of the island's remote regions remained comparatively untouched and lightly documented. Richly illustrated with photographs, walking reports, maps, club notes and expedition accounts, the publication offers a fascinating window into Tasmania's rugged landscapes and the passionate community devoted to exploring them.

The Hobart Walking Club, founded in 1929, played a major role in fostering appreciation for Tasmania's wilderness areas long before environmental conservation became mainstream. Within these issues are detailed accounts of walks through iconic regions such as the South-West wilderness, Central Highlands and remote coastal country, alongside practical bushcraft observations, track conditions, and commentary on the rapidly changing relationship between recreation and preservation. The journals also preserve the social history of Australian bushwalking culture in the early 1970s, documenting club activities, personalities and the camaraderie of the Tasmanian outdoor movement.

Now professionally bound into a durable hardcover volume with gilt spine lettering, this collection transforms what were originally softcover periodicals into an attractive and highly usable reference work. Such bound compilations are increasingly sought after by collectors of Tasmaniana, mountaineering literature, wilderness history and Australian exploration material, particularly when complete sequences of issues are preserved together. An evocative and historically important record of Tasmania's walking heritage, this volume remains both a practical archive and a nostalgic celebration of one of Australia's great bushwalking traditions."
