Beyond the Tamar began decades ago with an incident in a flooded tin mine in Cornwall.
A small girl listened to the ‘Little People’ the tinners and thus began a tale.
Beyond the Tamar is three books in one historic saga, set in 1800s Cornwall, Wales and thence to South Australia, encompassing the tin and copper industries.

- Experience the emotional impact of leaving a familiar life to set out for the unknown.
- Share the emergence of the pastoral industry, gold rush finds and interactions with indigenous peoples.
