What was Tasmania first used for?
The British established a small settlement on the Derwent River in 1803, due to fears that the French would colonise Van Diemen's land (present-day Tasmania). 33 of the 49 people in the group were convicts, and the settlement continued to receive convicts re-shipped from New South Wales or Norfolk Island up until 1812. Regular shipments of convicts directly from Britain began in 1818. A second penal colony was established at Macquarie Harbour on the west coast of Van Diemen's Land in 1822, and three years later, the British Government separated Van Dieman's Land from New South Wales. In essence: Tasmania was first used as a prison and small free settlement.
