  1. Post-colonial History As you look at the following resources, think about the competing demands on the Lake St Clair environment in the 19th and 20th centuries. • Why did people travel from Hobart to Lake St Clair in 1850? In 1920? Do people still travel there for the same reasons today? Why or why not? These resources are sourced from the National Library of Australia (TROVE).

  2. John Skinner Prout (1805-1876), 1845 Watercolour painting • One of many early painters and photographers captured by the lake’s beauty. • Illustrates the mountainous surrounds of the lake.

  3. Article on angling from the Mercury, 1927. • The author discusses the overfishing of the Great Lakes and describes the ‘deep, cold’ lake as ideal conditions for rainbow trout. • This primary source suggests that the lake was increasing used for fishing in the 20th century, coinciding with better public access from major population centres.
