’The Newsprint’ describes the history of the Tyenna, Styx, Florentine and associated Valleys in the south west of Tasmania, especially in relation to the operation of wood harvesting for the Australian Newsprint Mill at Boyer, near New Norfolk, and subsequent reforestation of the areas. This is also the story of the people who lived and worked in the Tyenna Valley in the Concession areas operated by ANM.
