about this websiteThis website commemorates the pioneer men and women of the Tasmanian Northwest, the tenacious and resilient people who left their mark and shaped the Northwest that we know today. Whether convict, assisted or free emigrant, each has left a legacy, a footprint for future generations to follow. We can be justly proud of such ancestors, who rose to the challenge of a perilous journey across vast oceans, who suffered and sacrificed to forge new lives in a fledging colony. By following their footsteps, we can learn from their stories and celebrate their achievements.
