This book is a brief history of a unique region of Tasmania, the West Coast, and of the pioneers who penetrated its wilderness as explorers, Huon Piners, prospectors and miners.

It is an era of old miners and their vivid memories of the early times; mines that flourished and mines that died.

Kerry George Pink OAM was a Tasmanian writer. He had been a journalist in Burnie with the Advocate in the north west of Tasmania for 40 years during which time he wrote a number of histories about Western Tasmania and the north coast of Tasmania.
