No Map to Show the Way (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780648883203)

South eastern Tasmania's history is rich with stories of European explorers. The area now known as Marion Bay was visited by many of those explorers, and tragically was the site of the first known killing of an Aboriginal person by European foreigners.

After moving to the area in 1993 Lex Johnson spent two decades researching this history. He presented a paper to the Abel Tasman History Conference (part of the "Australia on the Map 1606-2006" celebrations), provided the authoritative text for the Denison Canal Park history panels (2001) and the Tasman Monument interpretation panel (2006).

This book brings together his research from the Tasman expedition to the Baudin expedition and will be fascinating to anyone with an interest in the region.
