Extinction of a Tasmanian Race Ends in 1876
A Hobart letter to the Springfield Republican recounts the near total disappearance of Tasmania’s original inhabitants. From 7,000 in 1808, the Tasmanians dwindled as sealers attacked communities and settlers retaliated. George Augustus Robinson led forced relocations, bringing survivors to Flinders Island by 1835, where disease and homesickness drained the population to final extinction with King Billy in 1869 and the last companion in 1876.
