Tasmania's west coast contains some of the wildest, most rugged scenery in Australia, parts having been only recently penetrated by expeditions.

Fred was born in Zeehan, a then-flourishing town, and reminisces about his early days there and about the decline after the war of the mines and, consequently, of the town. He also finds out interesting details of the appalling Mount Lyell mine disaster.
