	Tasmania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tasmania was once inhabited only by an indigenous population, the Tasmanian Aborigines, and evidence indicates their presence in the territory, later to become an island, at least 35,000 years ago (rising sea levels cut Tasmania off from mainland Australia about 10,000 years ago).
		Tasmania is a rugged island of temperate climate, and was considered so similar in some ways to pre-industrial England that it was referred to by some English colonists as 'a Southern England'.
		Tasmania's rail network consists of narrow gauge lines to all four major population centres and to mining or forestry operations on the west coast and north-west.

	MILESAGO - Features - Lake Pedder
		The dream was to transform Tasmania from a sleepy rural economy, reliant on apples, hops and fish, into a modern industrial dynamo, pumping out cheap, clean, and supposedly inexhaustible power that would attract major industry to the state.
		The west of Tasmania is mostly covered by dense forest, but driving into Queenstown reveals a dramatic change in the landscape -- for miles in all directions around the mine and the town, the hills are totally bare of all vegetation.
		But there was a small but committed group of conservationists who opposed the Scheme, and their fightback began in earnest with a petition of 10,000 signatures, the biggest in Tasmania's history -- the total population of Hobart was just over 100,000 at this time, so this was a very significant number.

	The Destruction Of The Tasmanian Aborigines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Tasmania is an island slightly larger in size than West Virginia, and is located two-hundred miles off Australia's southeast coast.
		To the Europeans of Tasmania the Blacks were an entity fit only to be exploited in the most sadistic of manners--a sadism that staggers the imagination and violates all human morality.
		The Aborigines were portrayed as a group of people "doomed to die out according to a natural law, like the dodo, and the dinosaur." This is during the same period in the United States that it was legally advocated that a Black man had no rights that a White man was bound to respect.
