We’re delighted to be able to help Dr. Kirkpatrick in sharing some of his works new and old with you as searchable PDF files available here at Tasmanian Geographic.

They’re available with an honesty-box contribution of whatever amount you feel is appropriate, or you can read them online in the embedded viewer.
