Summary "Wayside Sketches in Tasmania" by S. H. Wintle is a descriptive travelogue written in the late 19th century. This book serves as an exploration of Tasmania’s natural beauty, delving into its picturesque landscapes, rich geology, and intricate history. Wintle, through his vivid narratives, illustrates the charm of various locations in Tasmania, particularly focusing on the North-East region near George's Bay. The content of the book is structured as a journey through the captivating terrains of Tasmania, marked by Wintle’s keen observations. From the dreary Corners to the breathtaking St. Mary’s Pass, he meticulously details the scenic beauty encountered along the way, including the majestic South Esk River, the mineral-rich mountains, and the flora and fauna that define the region. Wintle highlights encounters with significant geological features, local legends such as Grenbers Haunted House, and the cultural backdrop of the once-thriving gold and tin mining towns like Fingal. His writing not only showcases the natural splendor of Tasmania but also reflects on the impact of human settlement and mining activities, providing insights into both the landscape and the life of its inhabitants during that time.
