They didn't.

A large number of Tasmanian Aborigines were indeed massacred during the 1800s, but one of the main problems was the relocation of the remainder to poorly-resourced islands, where they died from neglect, after being promised they would be looked after. This all occurred during the 1800s. The last fullblooded Tasmanian Aborigine, Truganini, died in 1876.

What are three reasons why Aborigine populations suffered while the European colonies grew?

1. The Europeans brought with them diseases which had hitherto been unknown in Aboriginal populations. Without any natiral defenses against these diseases, the indigenous populations were severely affected by what were relatively minor diseases for Europeans. 2. Europeans cleared land for farming and continued to spread out wherever they wanted, taking over the traditional lands of the indigenous people. 3. Aborigines did not understand the European concept of ownership. As gentle people, who shared everything, they assumed they could kill and eat easy prey like sheep, cattle and goats. This created immense tensions which invariably led to the Europeans shooting Aborigines on sight.
