Tasmanian Archives: Crayfishing in Tasmania AB869/1/668 (1955)

The wooden boat building industry has been a stable trade for over 200 years now in Australia. Wooden boats have serviced the island state of Tasmania, off Australia and became a life-line for many regions. Industries such as fishing have heavily relied on the use of wooden boats over the years and the Australian Wooden Boat Festival celebrate these vessels every second year.
