Life stories of early struggles and achievements of Aboriginal people

This exhibition also tells the life stories of early struggles and achievements of Aboriginal people. These include Potory-Minbee (Jack Jones) who was part of a large Aboriginal raid on the home of Alfred Jaques during the 1830s, arrested, stood trial at the Supreme Court in Sydney (where Rev Threlkeld and Birabahn acted as interpreters), and was found guilty. It also focuses on Bungaree’s circumnavigation of Australia with Matthew Flinders, and Margaret and Ned’s battle to hold onto lands granted to them near Swansea.
