Echoes on the Mountain



‘Echoes on the Mountain’ has just been reprinted and is available once from the author and leading booksellers. This book contains stories of migrants who came to Tasmania 1949-1956 to live and work with the HEC in the Central Highlands of Tasmania. The book relates their early lives in the country of birth, experiences of war and becoming a migrant. These people are now aging and this has been a rare opportunity to record their stories. The book achieved a lot of publicity and sales statewide, interstate and overseas.
