The Story Of Port Dalrymple - Life and Work In Northern Tasmania
By L.S. Bethell
Published by LG Shea, Government Printer: Tasmania c1957 (1st Edition)

"The Story of Port Dalrymple - Life and Work in Northern Tasmania by L.S. Bethell offers a detailed account of the early European settlement and development of the Port Dalrymple region, now known as the Tamar Valley in northern Tasmania. Drawing on historical records and personal observations, Bethell traces the exploration of the area by Lieutenant Colonel William Paterson in the early 1800s and the establishment of key settlements such as George Town and Launceston. The book highlights the challenges faced by settlers, including isolation, conflict with Aboriginal people, and the struggle to establish agriculture and trade in a remote and often harsh environment.

Bethell also explores the gradual transformation of the region from a frontier outpost into a thriving centre of commerce and culture. He documents the evolution of industries such as timber, shipbuilding, and mining, and reflects on the social and political changes that shaped northern Tasmania over the 19th and early 20th centuries. Through a mix of historical narrative and local anecdote, The Story of Port Dalrymple preserves the legacy of the pioneers and captures the unique character of life in Tasmania's north."
