IV. On the Geology of Hobart Town
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
The island of Tasmania is connected, as it were, with the continent of Australia by two chains of islands, the lines of which are afterwards continued in the mountain-syatems both of Tasmania and Australia. The Tasmanian systems pass from north to south in a strangely zigzag course, throughout which the mineralogical character of the rocks varies considerably. The land, therefore, may be presumed to have once presented a very different line of contour to what it does at the present day.
