Cygnet

Pioneers

Many of the properties mentioned in the various biographies are still identifiable, should you be able to provide a photograph it would be appreciated. The information contained in the history of our pioneers is mainly extracted from The Cyclopedia of Tasmania which was published about 1900. It is interesting to see how the english language was used in that period.
