The Companian to Tasmanian History (Reference below) describes the ANA:

The Australian Natives Association (ANA) began in Melbourne in 1871 as a benefit or friendly society to encourage thrift and educational improvement among those born in Australia, 'natives'. Non-sectarian and politically impartial, it later campaigned for political reform and patriotic causes. In Tasmania it operated briefly in the mid-1880s and supported political reform, and developed more strongly from the 1890s.
