About this Quote

This quote offers to advise us of the value of comprehending the history of Tasmania, as well as of the special scenarios that have shaped it. It also serves to advise us of the significance of maintaining the culture and also language of the people of Tasmania, as it is a part of their history that ought to not be forgotten.
