Star Children of the Sun and Moon: The Last Ice Age

#shorts #Dr Duane Hamacher #Tasmania #bright star #Robinson’s accounts Stories told by Indigenous Tasmanians to white settlers appear to describe the flooding of Bass Strait, which occurred 12,000 years ago, as well as the location of the stars at a similar time. When British settlers arrived in 1803, the Palawa (Indigenous Tasmanians) had lived in almost total isolation since the flood of Bass strait, cutting the island off from mainland Australia. Since then, they have suffered one of the most systematic extermination campaigns of indigenous peoples anywhere. Most native inhabitants either murdered or deported to Flinders Island. George Augustus Robinson, who was one of the first British settlers, recorded some of the culture he was helping to destroy, and his accounts include tales of the flooding that cut Tasmania off
