G'day Karlena Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) only became a separate colony on the 3rd December 1825. When the first Tasmanian settlement was established in 1803 at Risdon Cove, it was as an outpost of the colony of New South Wales.

But why then did the 1845 newspaper say New South Wales? By that time VDL had been a separate colony for 20 years! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Armstrong Sent: 16 April 2014 12:27 To: [email protected]; Westmorland List Subject: Re: [CUMB] Carlisle Journal, BMD, 29 Mar 1845 (2) G'day Karlena Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) only became a separate colony on the 3rd December 1825.
