Summary Australia's history stretches back many thousands of years. In this final episode, Geoffrey Blainey travels to the wilderness of south-west Tasmania, where archaeologists have discovered evidence of a disparate people, living in the shadow of a glacier, at the peak of the ice age. When the seas cut off Tasmania, Aboriginal life entered a new phase, as they adapted to the art of surviving in a harsh and unforgiving land. But these tribes stood little chance against the arrival of Europeans with their technology and strength.
