Request edit, moved here from the article

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Some proposed changes

The French explorers contributed a wealth of new information about Tasmania that remains important today. Their observations about contact with the Indigenous inhabitants – particularly those recorded in the journals of botanist Jacques Julien de Labillardiere, which were later published in France – today remain the best accounts of Tasmanian Aboriginal society prior to European settlement.

Recherché Bay was added to the Australian National Heritage List on 7 October 2005.^[1]

The National Heritage List protects, commemorates and celebrates places that have outstanding Indigenous, natural or historic values of national significance. Heritage values can include the physical elements of a site as well as the stories, people or events connected to a place. Once added to the National Heritage List, a place’s outstanding national heritage values are protected under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.^[2]
