	Hobart - MSN Encarta
		The discovery that Tasmania was actually an island (as a result of the circumnavigation voyage of Matthew Flinders and George Bass in 1798) intensified British territorial anxieties.
		The first of two settlements designed to claim the area for Britain was established by Lieutenant John Bowen in 1803 at Risdon Cove, and it was here that, in an episode that grimly prefigured Tasmania's lamentable record of relations with the Aborigines, settlers first used firearms against the indigenous inhabitants.
		On February 26, 1804, there were 226 men, 15 women, and 21 children at the Sullivan's Cove (Hobart) settlement; of these, 178 of the men, 9 of the women, and 8 of the children were convicts.

	So who's fabricating the history of Aborigines? - theage.com.au
		Windschuttle argues that historians of the Risdon massacre have been led astray by the testimony of those who were not there.
		He says that if we stick to the "facts" as told by the eyewitnesses, we see that the incident was merely an unfortunate misunderstanding in which just two or three Aborigines lost their lives.
		Finally, White's claim that Mountgarrett sent the bones of some of the murdered Aborigines to Sydney in two casks is further proof of his unreliability, according to Windschuttle, because he was a convict and therefore wouldn't be aware of what members of the "colonial elite" were doing.
