By 1815, the extent of British colonisation in Australia is still a tiny speck on a vast continent, but that’s all about to change. From about 1820, a radical shift occurs in the British colonial project which leads to a world-shattering experience for Australia’s First Peoples. In this episode we focus on the key part that Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) plays in this story.
