Fanny Cochrane Smith’s wax recordings are the only recorded example of Tasmanian Aboriginal songs or of any Tasmanian Aboriginal language.
In this recording, Fanny Cochrane Smith talks about being the last of the Tasmanians. She then sings in both English and her own language.
Tasmanian Aboriginal recordings are inscribed in the UNESCO Australian Memory of the World Register.
