Darkinung speakers settle at La Perouse

Darkinung speakers settle at La Perouse. This includes Annie Barber (nee Dillon, “Grannie Barber”), George Trooper and his wife Rachel (formerly at Sackville camp on the Hawkesbury and met by RH Mathews). Annie and George are painted there by artist Herbert Beecroft. The artist describes George as “the blackest black I ever saw and a true type” (Nugent, Botany Bay p50, in Ford p372).
