Reposting my #introduction since I've moved over to @hcommons.social

Um, hullo?

I'm a historian (or #histodons, adorable) on the small(ish) island of #Tasmania, at the bottom of Australia. I grew up here and occasionally like to go awandering, but do so love this island a lot.

I research colonial landscapes, particularly in the early years of a colony – I'm interested in how colonisers interpreted the land and adapted to it. Most of my work so far has looked at Tasmania, but I'm starting to branch out. I am a teeny bit of a map nerd, and am keen to find my fellow #HGIS and #GIS friends out here.

And this is one of my favourite maps, purely for the details on the illustration. #mapmonstermonday ain't got nothing on the wild creatures of Tasmania.

Nineteenth century map of an estate, showing a long property painted green and decorated with little trees. In the top left is an illustration, with the title "Plan of an Estate the property of J. Beamont Esq, New Town". This illustration is expanded and described in the next image.This is the illustration from the top left of the full map. A tree has been drawn, with various creatures running up and down the branches. At the bottom, a forked-tail hog looks up the tree, with the outline of a monkey running down the opposite side of the trunk. Hanging from the branches at the top is a skeletal monkey/possum/thing. A man is halfway up the tree, leaning back against a branch and aiming a rifle at the skeletal creature. On the ground, the outline of a scarecrow or person stands watching with a pipe in its mouth.

A map labelled "Plan of the Estate of the property of J. Beamont Esq. New Town". The map is from the mid-nineteenth century and is hand drafted, with beautiful colours to fill in the detail of an estate.This is an extract from the larger map, showing the title and a drawing of a tree. Various creatures climb up and down the tree, including what looks like a hog with a forked tail, a monkey, and a skeletal creature hanging from its tail. A man is halfway up, leaning back against a branch and aiming a rifle at the skeletal animal. At the fence, a line drawing of a man or scarecrow stands watching it all with a pipe sticking from his mouth.
