In a few weeks we go to Hobart; Tasmania, here is wikipedia note on some tragic history

The Tasmanian Aborigines ( Aboriginal name: Palawa) are the indigenous people of the island state of Tasmania, Australia.

During 1803–33, the population of the Tasmanian Aborigines was reduced from an estimate of around 5,000 to a few hundred, as a result of the ethnic conflict called the Black War, one of the first documented modern genocides. The few survivors were kept in a camp on Flinders Island, where disease and neglect reduced their numbers even further until one of the last of the full blooded Palawa, a woman called Trugernanner (often rendered as Truganini), died in 1876.[1]

All of the Indigenous Tasmanian languages have been lost. Currently there are some efforts to reconstruct one of the languages from the available wordlists. Today, some people can trace a small part of their ancestry to the Palawa, since a small number of Palawa women were taken into slavery and bore children. Those members of the modern-day descendant community who claim ancestry to Tasmanian Aborigines have mostly European ancestry, and did not keep the traditional Palawa culture.
