This unit examines the nature of historical geography through the study of geographical change in rural, urban and wilderness regions of Tasmania. Particular attention will be paid to the factors creating the distinctive landscapes of Van Diemen's Land, the demographic and economic transformation occurring between 1850 and 1870, and the processes creating new "Tasmanian" landscapes in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The imprint of the past on the present will be examined though consideration of relict features. Landscapes that have disappeared but which may be recovered, landscapes that have disappeared completely and visible only in the documentary record, and landscapes proposed but never implemented will also be considered. The practical program includes two local field trips and four sessions involving the collection of historical data from archival and related sources as preparation for the research essay.
