Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Tasmania is all mountains, valleys, and glens; with waterfalls and lakes, forests of fern trees, trout brooks, and hunting parks. Its coast is deeply indented with fjords and harbors, and it has been made a great health resort. From December until May it is swarming with visitors One can go almost anywhere by motor, coach, horseback, or rail and always have good company. There are also many tourists on foot."
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Tasmania, together with the five states of Australia, forms what is called the Commonwealth of Australia. It is a heart-shaped island, with its top less than two hundred miles from Australia and its point toward the Pole. It is considered as the Switzerland of the southern Pacific, and one of the most healthful and beautiful lands of the globe. Hobart, the capital and largest city on the island, is twenty-five hundred miles below the Equator, with nothing by ocean between it and the frozen lands of the Antarctic. It lies on a fine harbor in a nest of hills on the banks of the Derwent and has beautiful Mount Wellington for a background."
