Impressions Of Tasmania Marion Bay And Port Arthur

. . . and so we board

ready for the strait

ready

for tasmania

Come aboard the Spirit of Tasmania and follow a journey across Bass Strait to Tasmania, the Apple Isle. Travel from Geelong to the historic Brickendon Estate, the quiet sweep of Marion Bay, and the haunted echoes of Port Arthur.

In this volume, Frank Prem gathers the places he encountered along the way and responds to them in free verse impressions - the small moments, quiet details, and emotional traces left by the South East Tasmanian landscapes.

Settle in.

The journey has begun.

god may live yet in the blue

but these walls -

my prison -

were built by me . . .
