About Strahan
Report
Nestled on the shores of Macquarie Harbour, Strahan was originally developed as a port of access for the mining settlements on the West Coast of Tasmania. Strahan became a vital location for the timber industry that existed around the Gordon River & Macquarie Harbour, particularly the harvesting of one of the world's rarest timbers Huon Pine - known as Lagarostrobos franklinii.

Ormiston Book
Report
The Ormiston House Book was first published by Mike Fry in early 1999 with most of the research being done in 1998. A house can be many things to many people. As well as the bricks and mortar, which are the material fabric of the structure, the house inherits the experiences from within and absorbs them.
