This book explores the life and times in the Midlands of Tasmania, both Black and White population including the Black War and Black Line activities that occurred in the region. In addition, the book provides a background to the major frontier towns across the region; and includes the lives of twenty-six different people who lived through these times. Other chapters in the book include: Other Places of Interest, Hotels and Breweries, First School, Municipality formed, Other Conflicts, End of Transportation and My Conclusion.I have spent over two years researching and writing this book and its official release was on the same day, 200 years after official naming of the town of Oatlands in the Midlands.
