Touring Tasmania in the 1880s: The Newspaper Articles of Theophilus Jones - Transcribed by D. J. L. Archer

'Between the little village of Chudleigh and the bases of mountains are the limestone caves full of stalactites and stalagmites. The sides and roofs are covered with glistening layers of crystalised carbonate, alcoves, shawl rooms, galleries, aisles, vaults and dungeons are draped by the same in creamy golds like gauze. ...T.P.H. Jones 'special correspondent'.

During the 1880's, freelance journalist Theophilus Paul Howard Jones travelled extensively throughout Tasmania, penning over 100 articles for the local newspapers of the time. The articles, titled "Through Tasmania", have been faithfully transcribed by John Archer to produce an historically important and interesting book. Touring Tasmania in the 1880's - The Newspaper Articles of Theophilus Jones takes the reader on a fascinating journey through early Tasmanian society.

John has also added his own comments and opinions in relation to the places Jones visited and the people he met.
