Congratulations to Rena Henderson for the publication of Sustainable Family Farming and Yoeman Ideals, 1860-2000 in North-West Tasmania (Routledge, 2021). Within the frame of family farming, this book offers a longitudinal study of the Castra district in North-West Tasmania from first European settlement to the end of the twentieth century. It draws upon historical sources for yeomanry characteristics from Britain, Canada, the USA, New Zealand and Australian mainland colonies to show how these characteristics were persistently supportive of family farming.
