Tasmania's Aboriginal people were wiped out so quickly that almost nothing of their history, culture or language was recorded.
Tasmania, or Van Diemen's Land as it was originally known, was best-known as a penal colony in its early days, with prisons for recurring offenders established on Sarah Island, Maria Island and Port Arthur.
Tasmania is renowned world wide for its pristine wilderness areas, and from the 1960s through to the 80s, Hobart became the organisational headquarters of a wide coalition of community groups determined to prevent the damming of areas of the state considered to be of global heritage and environmental value.
