Grave Tales: Tasmania
Grave Tales: Tasmania visits the cemeteries and memorials of Tasmania and tells of the everyday people who-willingly or unwillingly-were participants in events that made local and national headlines. They may have lived in the same suburbs, streets, and even the same houses as exist now, or finished their days in this beautiful state.
Written by journalists Helen Goltz and Chris Adams, these stories hint at our history - tales of unsolved murders, love lost, mystery, tragedy, early settlement, health epidemics, scandal and sacrifice. Grave Tales: Tasmania reveals more than the headstone can ever convey by tracing the tumultuous journeys that lead to these final resting places.

This is my second book of the Grave Tales series, and again it is a hit by the authors as I really like the concept of the series.
This one is about Tasmania, and it focuses less on individuals this time and more on the island history itself with some of the worst disasters suffered by the island (mining, flooding, shipwreck, plane crash), and also has Errol Flynn in there as he was a native of Tasmania, but was not buried there. A chapter that piqued my interest was the one about the men who made the Tasmanian apple industry and whence the island got its name as the Apple Isle.
Great read filled with interesting tales and history, and is highly recommended.
