Tasmanian aborigenes
1. Summary
Tasmania is south of Australia. Its capital is Hobart. The
original inhabitants of the island are the Aborigines. The Tasmanians are
the only people on earth whose race is totally extinct. It
happened in the 19th century. The colonisation of Tasmania began as
early as 1642 when the Dutch navigator Abel Tasman landed
there and named it Van Diemen’s Land after his
governor. In 1855 Van Diemen’s Land became Tasmania.
In 1770 Captain Cook explored Australia and 7 years later,
the British landed on the
island. They were mostly convicts and settlers and their number amounted
to 65,000. Even though the British government hoped to see
harmonious relationships between the settlers and the
native people, and to extend the protection of British law
to the Aborigines, troubles soon
began.
