Description: Journey along one of Tasmania's lesser-known waterways in this richly layered portrait of the Rubicon Rivulet, tracing its story from volcanic origins and deep geological time to the present day.

A thoughtful blend of natural history, cultural heritage, and place-based storytelling for anyone drawn to Tasmania's hidden landscapes.
