Comments:	Kutikina, Thylacines, Apples and Climate Change: an introduction to Australian (featuring Tasmanian) environmental history Don Garden Theatre (5 weeks 19/10-16/11) The Kutikina cave on the Franklin River can be seen to bookend Australian environmental history. The cave manifests the length and breadth of Indigenous occupation of Australia, while its rediscovery and dating in the 1980s played a crucial role in one of Australia’s most significant environmental campaigns. In between, Australia and Tasmania were colonised by people from a distant island who transformed its environment as they sought to extract a living from the land and its waters and imposed their cultural expectations. El Nino droughts and flooding rains are part of the Australian environmental story, but they do not tell it all.
