Um, hullo?

I'm a historian (or #histodons, adorable) on the small(ish) island of Tasmania, at the bottom of Australia. I grew up here and occasionally like to go awandering, but do so love this island a lot.

I research colonial landscapes, particularly in the early years of a colony – I'm interested in how colonisers interpreted the land and adapted to it. Most of my work so far has looked at Tasmania, but I'm starting to branch out. I am a teeny bit of a map nerd, and am keen to find my fellow #HGIS and #GIS friends out here.

And this is one of my favourite maps, purely for the details on the illustration. #mapmonstermonday ain't got nothing on the wild creatures of Tasmania.
