On The Convict Trail: January 2015
http://ontheconvicttrail.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
On The Convict Trail. Wednesday, 28 January 2015. Hardcastle was built for a handsome, bearded clergyman, the Reverend Isaac Hardcastle Palfreyman, pastor of the Free Methodist Church in Murray Street. He bought the land in 1887 from an unlikely quartet of people-a gentleman, a painter and glazier, a farmer and a widow. Two lots of a sub-division, Numbers 4 and 5, were needed and the cost was £282: 10:0. Hardcastle’s restoration is certainly worth every effort the present owners have put into it. The Her...

On The Convict Trail: Queen Adelaide Inn
http://ontheconvicttrail.blogspot.com/2015/08/queen-adelaide-inn.html
On The Convict Trail. Sunday, 9 August 2015. The Queen Adelaide Inn began life as a comfortable 4 roomed brick cottage that was built by James Sly, a bootmaker, in the mid 1840’s. By 1853, it had been purchased at public auction by George Pollock for the sum of 500 pounds. The building still remains to this day in South Hobart and appears to be undergoing a major renovation. Fantastic that the place has managed to survive for all these years. Main Text and Information Source –. Sunday, August 09, 2015.

On The Convict Trail. Sunday, 28 June 2015.
