Tonight, you are not a warrior. You are not a hero.
You are a Palawa islander — and the ship has just appeared on the water.
You don’t know what it is. You don’t know what it brings. But you will never be the same.

This is not a bedtime story. It’s a quiet unraveling. A slow-motion erasure.
From first contact to forced exile, from lost language to labeled extinction — this is the story of what happened when the British arrived in Tasmania. Told not through the eyes of the empire, but through the silence that followed.

If you're still awake by the end… thank you for remembering what history tried to forget.
