Hobart City Council will be offered a new Indigenous name today, presented by the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre as part of reconciliation week.
The TAC’s chief executive officer, Heather Sculthorpe said: “It would be fantastic if Hobart were to become the first capital in Australia to adopt the original name for the territory on which it is located.”
Mrs. Sculthorpe said that while the new name hasn’t been announced just yet, it is the original and proper name for the city.
