Preface The St Clair Quadrangle, to which this report refers, contains the southern continuation of the glaciated region already surveyed in the Du Cane Quadrangle immediately to the north. Like the Du Cane Quadrangle, the St Clair Quadrangle has little mineral wealth but much to interest the bushwalker, and in addition, its easier access brings it within the range of the tourist. Indeed, a large part of the State's biggest scenic reserve, the Cradle Mountaln­ Lake St Clair National Park, occurs in this Quadrangle. Economically, the chief interest is centered in peculiarities of topography and drainage, enabling development of natural and artificial storage lakes to assist in t he production of hydro-electricity so necessary for industrial expansion. The St Clair Map Sheet presents a wide range of interesting studies for a variety of geologists including especially those inter~ ested in geomorphology and engineering, and it is to be hoped that this report will be followed by fUrther study.

  • A Study of the Inquest Records of Tasmania
    A Study of the Inquest Records of Tasmania Shirley A. Hofto B.A. (Hons) Dip Ed. Submitted in part fulfilment of requirements for qualifying for M.A. (History). July, 1996. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university and to the best of my knowledge it contains no copy or paraphrase of material already published or written by another person except where due reference is made. Signed 3 Abstract. The inquest records of Tasmania dating from 1828 are stark revelations of human tragedy. From them it is possible to gain knowledge of the legal processes operating, vivid details of the life and times, and insight into the way in which sudden and accidental deaths were viewed by coroners and others seeking to make life in Tasmania safer for its citizens. This study samples these records, setting them in historical context and highlighting what I consider is the interesting data revealed. 4 Acknowledgments. I should like to thank Professor Michael Roe for patience and good humour in his attempts to rejuvenate an old student, Dr Stefan Petrov for an introduction to the Faculty of Law Library, Gillian Winter for helpful suggestions concerning Lachlan Park, Dr Peter McCartney for a pleasant hour at the Hyperbaric unit R.H.H. and my daughter, Jane, for unflagging encouragement and a listening ear. 11\ 5 Contents Introduction.
