In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, the award-winning historian and author Dr Kate Fullagar chats with Dr Gabriella-Kelly-Davies about her choices while crafting Bennelong & Phillip: A History Unravelled, the first joint biography of First Nations leader, Bennelong, and the first governor of the British Colony of New South Wales, Arthur Phillip. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: Why Bennelong & Phillip is still so relevant, over 200 years since the events depicted in it occurred Why Kate Fullagar structured the narrative around the intertwined lives of Bennelong and Arthur Phillip rather than crafting separate biographies Why Kate plotted the events in Bennelong's and Phillip's lives in reverse order, starting with the two leaders' funerals How Kate reconciled the literary challenges in crafting events in reverse order How Kate pieced together and interpreted thousands of fragments of evidence that were biased by a colonial lens and lacked an Indigenous perspective The vital evidence that enabled Kate to challenge the prevailing image of Bennelong as a tragic victim and outcast of his community The complexities of intercultural encounters, particularly the power dynamics, cultural misunderstandings and moments of genuine connection that shaped the interactions between Bennelong and Phillip Why deeply researched, revisionist accounts of a life and events are so vital in an authentic portrayal of our nation's history and the individuals who created that history How Bennelong & Phillip encourages us to confront the complexities of the past and engage in ongoing conversations about reconciliation and justice.

The first joint biography of Bennelong and Arthur Phillip, two pivotal figures in Australian history – the colonised and coloniser. Fullagar's account is also the first full biography of Bennelong of any kind and it challenges many misconceptions
Jane Harrison is a playwright & author descended from the Muruwari people. She is the author of the internationally acclaimed play Stolen and today I am going to introduce you to the novelisation of her most recent play The Visitors. The Visitors takes us to Gadigal Land in January of 1788. On this sweltering day a strange sight appears in the harbour and immediately spurs the locals into action. Messages are sent to the Nations of the coastal and river regions calling seven men, elders in their clans to congregate and decide what must be done now that The Visitors have returned. My first thoughts as I started reading The Visitors was that this is a story that is both known and completely unknown to me. As I thought back to my education, sparse as it may have been on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, I realised that the landing of Arthur Phillip in what we now call Sydney is not a story that is told as much as it's an assumption that is made and then built upon. The genius of The Visitors is that it not only unpacks those assumptions it seeks to explore the story; the stories of the land and the people before that fateful day. As the group congregate to consider their options, one man, more thoughtful than his peers considers not just the sight before but its meaning. He asks…”I am wondering… how we will remember this day”. The irony of course is that these words must be put onto the lips of a fictional witness because remembering is not something we do well in this country. In The Visitors Jane Harrison is challenging readers with the omissions in the narrative. We awake on unceded land (as we do each since incidentally) to the surprise and interest of men and women intrigued but also put out by the interruption to their daily lives. We meet each of the emissaries as they prepare for the meeting assembling weapons and considering tactics. It's a particular genius of the novel that it translates the story culturally, allowing the reader to understand the tension and the mundanity of such an important day; we learn of petty differences and old grudges. We come to understand that ceremonies are important but that this doesn't mean someone's not going to interrupt or get impatient. When I looked back on the paucity of education I received about what really happened when British ships invaded these shores, I was struck that in all my learning I was given the impression that the people who arrived were there by right. By consequence this meant that the people they met on the shores were just in the way. In The Visitors Harrison tells a history that shows us these men and women were custodians and lawmakers; tied to their lands and seeking to defend it. The novel asks us to take another look at what we think we know about that history and everything that has been built on it.
In this episode of the A History of Australia Podcast, we overview how the 1790 Food Crisis ended. We also take a look at the historical events of 1791-1792, and end with a retrospective on the Governorship of Arthur Phillip, looking to answer the question, was he competent and effective as a leader?
In this episode, we put a magnifying glass to the first weeks of the colonisation of Australia, and examine how Arthur Phillip and the convicts went about putting the process into motion.

Australia Day is the official national day of Australia. Observed annually on 26 January, it marks the 1788 landing of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove and raising of the Union Flag by Arthur Phillip following days of exploration of Port Jackson in New South Wales. - Heute, am 26. Januar, ist Australia Day und viele Einwanderer bekommen an diesem Tag traditionell ihre Einbürgerungsurkunde. Früher hieß der Tag auch schon mal Foundation Day und Anniversary Day. Der Name Australia Day wird eigentlich erst seit 1935 in allen Bundesstaaten und Territorien durchgehend benutzt. Daß die indigene Bevölkerung Australia Day ganz anders sieht, ist kein Geheimnis. Zwiespältig ist auch die Sicht von Dieter Herrmann, dem Chefredakteur der WOCHE IN AUSTRALIEN, der noch andere Menschen sieht, die bei den Feierlichkeiten zum Tag der Nation oft übersehen werden:

Michael is joined by Geoffrey Blainey, historian, academic, philanthropist & commentator, for his insight into the history and significance of Australia Day. Observed annually on January 26th, Australia Day marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson in New South Wales and the raising of the British flag at Sydney Cove by Arthur Phillip. In present-day Australia, celebrations aim to reflect the diverse society and landscape of the nation and are marked by community and family events, reflections on Australian history, official community awards and citizenship ceremonies welcoming new members of the Australian community. The date of 26 January 1788 marked the proclamation of British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of Australia (then known as New Holland). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stan Grant is an Australian television news and political journalist. He is currently the ABC's indigenous and international affairs analyst, and professor of global affairs at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia.He’s written a number of books, two which absolutely stand out are Talking to My Country, and his latest book Australia Day.You see Stan is an Aboriginal First Nation Australian man.His father was an elder of the Wiradjuri people - a country that stretches across central NSW - from Wagga Wagga and Leeton to West Wyalong, Parkes, Dubbo, Forbes, Cootamundra, Cowra and Young among other places.Stan has spent much of his career abroad - covering conflict, has witnessed the unimaginable horrors of war, and has lived for years in countries far from his own.These days, Stan is back.And he’s written a book called Australia Day.A book about not just about a difficult day in our community - the 26th of January, the day we as a nation celebrate Arthur Phillip planting a flag and declaring this country for England - for some it’s the day that Australia as we know it began. For others it’s the day that Australia as they knew it ended.It’s a complex thing to talk about.There’s a lot of emotion around what it is to be Australian, and the role of the legacy of colonialism on us all, Indigenous or otherwise - and where we go from here.It’s a hot-button topic.One that deserves a long conversation and a deep exploration.While you listen to this, try to consider what things would be like if it were you and your family affected by this situation.Try to see what it might be like or have been like for people in this country when the Europeans came.Do I have the answers? Absolutely not.But I know it starts with listening, seeing and empathy.I like to try and have an idea about what might make today better than yesterday.Here’s one…I mean we could simply declare Australia a republic, recognise Aboriginal Australians in the founding constitution of that republic and instead of January 26 we could pick a date in summer and call it “Independence Day!” But that’s just me.So let’s go.Come to my house and enjoy a cuppa and a conversation with a man that speaks as if he’s free styling poetry, Stan Grant.

The local Sydney people continue to find it tough going after the arrival of the British. A smallpox epidemic breaks out killing many Indigenous people. Bennelong is captured and Arthur Phillip is speared and recovers from his wound. Arthur Phillip then orders reprisals after the apparently unprovoked killing of John McIntire.

El Día de Australia conmemora la llegada de Arthur Phillip con los once navíos de la Primera Flota a la cala de Sídney el 26 de enero de 1788. En Sídney, la mayor ciudad del país, se conmemora la fecha con el desfile de barcos próximo al puente de la bahía. Hay presentaciones de artistas en Puerto Darling, donde, al final del día, se reúnen los mejores barcos del desfile. La noche termina con todos cantando Advance Australia Fair (himno nacional de Australia) en frente de la iluminada e imponente bandera australiana que ondea en aquella bahía. Las principales ceremonias, y también las más tradicionales, son la entrega de la Orden de Australia (Order of Australia) y el nombramiento del Australiano del año (Australian of the year). Ambos actos tienen como objetivo homenajear a personas que hayan alcanzado alguna honra para el país. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/adan-orozco-jimenez/message
