What reading level is In Tasmania book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So far as he knew, one full-blooded Aboriginal remained alive on the island. A year later Truganini was dead. With her passing, it came to be generally accepted what Darwin had written – ‘Van Diemen’s Land enjoys the great advantage of being free of a native population’ – and that the Tasmanian Aborigines had shared the fate of the Beothuks of Newfoundland: two distinct races which became extinct in the nineteenth century. But Truganini’s death was not the end of the story.
I had been only a few... weeks in Tasmania when, on a visit to her house in Hobart, I saw my new-found Kemp cousin produce a faded Edwardian case of the sort used for storing fish knives. She carried it to the table and opened it. Inside on the felt was a halo of green Mariner shells, each the size of a child’s tooth.
I had seen shell necklaces before, but nothing like this.
‘To get that colour,’ she said, ‘they soaked the shells in urine and scratched the outside off.’ ‘Where does this come from?’ ‘It was Truganini’s,’ her face solemn.
