Only in Tasmania is a unique history book written by Sandra Huett. A signed copy is up for grabs and will be won by one lucky follower of Think Tasmania. Why, I hear you ask? Because Think Tasmania published a review of Only in Tasmania recently, and generated a little publicity for the book.
So now we get to share Sandra’s appreciation with all of you. This unique history book is valued at $25.00.

Subscribed! This book would be great because we are planning on going to Tassie for our next family holiday.
This fun and factual book will convince my husband that Tasmania is the place for our next holiday! Yeh!
History made interesting – got to be happy with that! School turned me off history completely, this could just help turn me back on!!!! 🙂
Hi,
Great competition. As they say you have to be in it to win it so here I am!
Thanks, Dale.
All those creepy & macabre things they did ‘down there’ when they thought no-one was looking, has now come back to bite them!!! Bahahaha!
Great competition, hope it brings heaps of publicity for you
Thanks Kaylene
As new residents to Tassie, this would be a terrific book for our kids (and us!). How interesting it sounds!

I love some scary reading before bed.

I can’t wait to read this book to my boys. They have been bugging me to get it. The perfect mix of weird, creepy and Tassie history.
Oh I just wait to get my hands on it! As a Tasmanian resident, I’ll roam the countryside reading parts aloud to myself (and the sheep) and scarring myself silly! And then, I’ll make Vandemonian Gothic art out of it – cause as an artist that’s what I do 😉 I’ll show the resulting art at BRAVE art Gallery Longford and make people want the book too – make them ask for it by name no less! No honestly, this is exactly the kind of working material I need, and I can’t wait to read it. Well done, Rebekah Farry
I love a good read. Looks interesting. 🙂
We’re planning a holiday to Tassie for Christmas so this would be fab to whet our appetites.
Unique history of a unique place…I’d love to read this unique perspective

I would love to win a copy of this book for my mum because she has always loved Tassie and told me stories and showed me photos of when she went. I’d also love to have a look at it because I want to move to Tassie one day. ^^

What a brilliant content for a book – maybe the other states will follow suit and thus some great Aussie tales would be forever unearthed
This will be a great book full of the quirky history of our smallest state
Sounds like a unique and interesting book!
What an interesting book 🙂
Very cool cover. Make you want to read it
Great blog, thanks for the info
This looks like a great read & a MUST HAVE before I visit the beautiful place that is Tasmania!
Moving to Tassie to live in December after only holidaying there once with hubby and the kids and fell in love with it, know no one there, no family there. What better way to get to know something about our new home land.
My kind of read..fascinating!
Would love to read this myself, but it is for my best pal Hilary who lives in Hobart…it’s her kinda book. Here’s hoping.
My 9 year old son heard about this book on ABC Radio (very discerning child) and has been talking about stories he heard about ever since. Sounds like something that we need.
I love reading books on any type of history of Tasmania, I live here and I love it.!!!
Only in Tasmania can there be a book such as this!
Keep up the good work
Would just love to read this please. I love your website and check it everyday, please pick me!
Oooo Can’t wait to read it THANK YOU
I have recently started investigating my family history and have found that it is deeply entwined with Tasmania and its history, so would be interested to see if any of my ancestors are mentioned in this book.
Congratulations Lisa… you are the winner!! We’ll give your name and email address to Sandra who will sign a copy of “Only in Tasmania” and send to you. Well done!
Looking forward to learning more about Tasmania, thanks!
This book sounds fantastic and will give me info to tease my partner about.
It looks like a fab and informative book. Just like this site.
Can you please tell me if/where I can buy this book in a bookstore in Melbourne?
Also, I’ve got to tell you, I just laughed out loud at the note at the bottom saying “you need to solve the simple equation so we know you are human” 😉
Hi Lisa, the book is not available in Melbourne at this time.
It can be ordered though, postage free from the website at http://www.onlyintasmania.com
Sounds like a great book.
coming back in 6 weeks to experience more of your beautiful state – can’t wait!
Brilliant quirky little book!
Truly awesome to find more interesting things about beautiful Tasmania, fascinating stuff, fingers-crossed for a win so I can continue my Tasmanian education.
