Down Home: Revisiting Tasmania, by Peter Conrad

“Peter Conard grew up there, and tried to decipher a cliff of ancient native rock carvings. In the process he discovered a small world he had never known: a Lilliput of wonders and oddities-his own home, and the secret, forgotten birthplace of Australia. The result is an extraordinary book, combining travel, autobiography and history by a supremely versatile and penetrating critic of contemporary culture.”

Published in 1988 by Chatto & Windus Ltd. Hardcover, with dust jacket intact (with clear plastic on it), 232 pages, some browning on pages, but overall good condition.
