Go for it.
Our Aussie climbing history is great, and well worth preserving.
You are in a unique position with your knowledge and contacts to do that for Tasmania, and if it doesn't come to pass then we will be the poorer for the lost opportunity.

I particularly enjoy the style of books that are compilations of first hand accounts, and the longer something like this is left on a 'to do' list, then the closer we run the risk of losing those accounts from the elder potential contributors.

Like ww&s, I'd certainly buy a copy.
