Revised edition of book first published in 2019 that tells the story of a type of small boat used commercially to support timber-cutting, mining, surveying and like activities in the river systems and other inland waterways of southern and western Tasmania 1840s-1970s. The book discusses the historical background to the design and use, lists people associated with industry to give an idea of the scope of the usage of the boats, and presents an extensively illustrated catalogue of punts in existence during the early 2000s, including recent replicas.
