It is available on CD, lavishly illustrated and in both html format (for easy reference) and pdf files for printing.

BEFORE THEY BUILT THE BRIDGE A light-hearted look at the history of Lindisfarne. Not the famous island, but a suburb of Hobart, Tasmania.     Elizabeth Barsham's family moved to the Eastern Shore in the early years of the 20th century. Accessible only by ferry from Hobart, Lindisfarne was then a bayside retreat of weekend cottages, orchards and dairy farms with a population of about two hundred. Elizabeth still lives in the farmhouse her grandfather and his brothers built; this book is based on anecdotes of the early days - "before they built the bridge, you know" - collected from elderly family acquaintances.
