	Truganini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Truganini was born around 1812 on Bruny Island in the D'Entrecasteaux Channel south of today's Tasmanian capital Hobart.
		In 1873, when Truganini was the sole survivor, she was moved to Hobart, where she died three years later, having requested that her ashes be scattered in the D'Entrecasteaux Channel.
		Truganini is the name of a song by Midnight Oil; this song spoke partly of Truganini herself but also of what Midnight Oil saw as Australia's environmental and social problems, including that of the Monarchy.

		George Augustus Robinson, a Christian missionary, befriended Truganini, learned some of the local language and in 1833 managed to persuade the remaining peoples to move to a new settlement on Flinders Island, where he promised a modern and comfortable environment, and that they would be relocated to the Tasmanian mainland as soon as possible.
