I do not know about the us of the "Bibles" for the Tasmanian ...
.
But ...
That said ...
.
I have Ancestors/Relatives down there.
.
In fact, members of my Ancestors/Relatives joined the Church, way back in 1926, down there.
.
[ there is a lot of Church history from down there ... ]
.
But, I have been to; and, researched, in Tasmania ...
.
The Capital, "Hobart", the OLDER part (ie. Buildings) are MUCH like the OLDER "Sydney" buildings (the FIRST established "British" Colony, here "Downunder").
.
In fact, most are NOT aware that Tasmania (then, "Van Diemen's Land"), was the SECOND established "British" Colony, here "Downunder"; and, NOT Victoria.
.
The "Penal Colony" of "Port Arthur" on Tasmania (then, "Van Diemen's Land") came a few years later.
.
I have helped may People (both, Members of the Church; and, non-members) find their "Australian Royalty" ... ie. their "Convict" Heritage ... from "Port Arthur".
