It is composed of the island of Tasmania and its adjoining islands, and is separated from the Australian continent on the south-east by Bass Strait.
Tasmania is the largest producer of tin in Australasia, and a very large proportion of the tin hitherto produced has been obtained from alluvial deposits, the lodes, except at Mount Bischoff, having, comparatively speaking, been neglected.
Tasmania shows a decline in sheep-breeding, yet the state is singularly well adapted for sheep-raising, and its stud flocks are well known and annually drawn upon to improve the breed in the other states.
Born in 1884, Harry Coventry was an all round sportsman of prodigious excellence, accomplishing noteworthy feats in cycling, boxing, tennis, cricket, athletics, snooker and billiards in addition to football.
After spending most of its formative phase in the NWFL, in 1910 Latrobe, along with Mersey, Wesley Vale, Ulverstone and Penguin, became a founder member of the NWFU, where it was to remain until the competition was disbanded at the end of the 1986 season.
The only real disappointment during this period was the club's failure to perform better in contests for the state premiership; given the abundance of talent available, a record of just 1 state flag from 4 attempts has to be regarded as disappointing.
