What happens

Wybalenna (englisch Black man’s houses ‚Häuser der Schwarzen‘) war ein Reservat für die tasmanischen Aborigines von Van-Diemens-Land (heute Tasmanien genannt) auf Flinders Island, einer Insel im Südosten von Tasmanien, die in der Bass Strait liegt. Wybalenna bestand von 1833 bis 1847 und ist eine der bedeutendsten historischen Stätten Tasmaniens. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
