Kew Gardens near London is one of the most famous botanical gardens in the world, welcoming countless visitors every year. But what many visitors may not know is that the history of Kew and that of the British Empire are intimately intertwined… At the height of the empire, Queen Victoria visited the iconic glass Palm House six times in the first few weeks it opened, and palm houseplants became a proud symbol because of her patronage. The botanical gardens also served as a laboratory that allowed imperial industries to boom. For example, seeds collected by Kew gardeners developed rubber plants that were shipped around the empire. The rubber plantations in British Malaya became so valuable that Britain fought a bloody war in 1948 to keep them. Listen as Anita and William are joined by Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireworld, to discuss how Kew was instrumental to the empire.

When setting up a brand new colony it is important to ensure that you have a long term plan. Unfortunately for the convicts being sent to Botany Bay in Australia, it seemed that their ongoing welfare was more of an afterthought. And when the first Governor left and placed the leader of the New South Wales Corps in temporary charge things went downhill fast. Which is always a likely outcome when alcohol becomes the primary currency...The impact of allowing the New South Wales Corps to abuse their power, even for a short time, led to nearly 20 years of struggle to get the colony in Australia under some sort of control.This week we will be talking about these efforts, how they were undermined, and how eventually the Colonial Office got so desperate that they appointed the former captain of the HMS Bounty, William Bligh, to be the new Governor. Because surely you could trust everyone to follow orders under his watch?Guest Host: Ollie Green Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this series, we take on the truest form of gaslighting history to dive deep into the life and legacy of Captain James Cook, the legendary British explorer known for his voyages to the Pacific. While his adventures and discoveries have been celebrated for centuries, many myths and misconceptions about his life and actions persist.From his humble beginnings and early naval career that shaped him into a master navigator, his first Pacific expedition where he charted New Zealand and the eastern coast of Australia, and common myths about his interactions with indigenous peoples, his supposed brutality, and the true nature of his death in Hawaii,somany stories and legends have popped up, not helped in the least by British propaganda.  Join Holly & Matthew as they separate fact from fiction, exploring the true story of Captain James Cook, and debunking the myths of his time. ***"Great Southern Land" is by Icehouse."Bound for Botany Bay" is performed by John Williamson.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-crap-in-australia--2968350/support.

More than 250 years after they were first taken, four spears, stolen by Captain James Cook and his crew after they arrived at Botany Bay, have been repatriated to their traditional owners. Representatives of the La Perouse Aboriginal Community traveled to Cambridge University in England where the artifacts, known as the ‘Gweagal Spears' had been kept since 1771. It follows a 30-year campaign to see the spears returned to country.

Rerun: ‘The First Fleet' - the eleven ships carrying around 1400 people from Britain, most of whom were convicted criminals - landed in New South Wales on 18th January, 1788. Australia had been home to indigenous people for at least 50,000 years - but was a barren and shocking destination for 'the poms', who'd endured an epic 252-day voyage to get there; a journey about which Robert Hughes wrote: “before them stretched the awesome lonely void of the Indian and Southern oceans, and beyond that lay nothing they could imagine.” In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explore how Captain Arthur Phillip motivated his prisoners to build a new settlement; unpick what Captain Cook got wrong about Botany Bay; and explain why the descendants of convicts in modern-day Oz maintain a certain swagger…  Further Reading: • ‘From Captain Cook to the First Fleet: how Botany Bay was chosen over Africa as a new British penal colony' (The Conversation, 2020): https://theconversation.com/from-captain-cook-to-the-first-fleet-how-botany-bay-was-chosen-over-africa-as-a-new-british-penal-colony-128002 • ‘Australian Penal Colonies' (Simple History, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS1072MshS0 • ‘Australian Genocide: How It Happened And How It Haunts Us To This Day' (All That's Interesting, 2016): https://allthatsinteresting.com/australia-genocide  ‘Why am I hearing a rerun?'

The Land Down Under as it exists today is very new in the grand scheme of things. During the early days of exploration it really existed only as a myth, the great southern land of legend. Once it was finally "discovered" and I say that because the first Aboriginal peoples had been there oh say roughly 60,000 years at that point, it didn't take long for the British to turn it into another colony, as Britain tended to do with literally anything. It's an extremely fascinating circumstance in which a people were left to live and develop untouched by other cultures for thousands of years, and then only within the last 250 years does a modern civilization step in to kinda ruin it, but then at the same type create a people as cool as the Aussies. How did this happen? Tune in and find out. 

When nearly 800 malnourished convicts set off for Botany Bay on the First Fleet, no-one expected them all to survive. But thanks to the heroic efforts of head physician John White, the prisoners had a better hope of survival than they would have if they stayed at home.

From ‘Picanniny Floor Polish' to ‘Bally Boomerang Pinball Machines', Sydney-based artist and collector Tony Albert has long been fascinated by Australiana, tourist objects which attempt to define, and commodify, Aboriginal and Torres Strati Islander peoples. Transforming them into grand sculptural installations, his works are political interventions with these vintage objects, and reappropriations of their use and meaning - which refuse to shy away from the shameful status they now hold. One such installation lends its name to Story, Place, a group exhibition in London, which brings together contemporary Indigenous artists from Australia and the diaspora. Tony talks about the plurality of Indigenous identities and lands across Australia, comparing the country's diversity to that of the European continent, and using ‘dreamtimes' to dispel the creation myth of Captain James Cook's Botany Bay landing in 1770. From his working-class upbringing in North Queensland, to working in cities like Brisbane with the likes of Richard Bell and Vernon Ah Kee, he unpacks the importance of collaboration and collective practice. As a member of the Kuku Yalanji peoples, Tony shares his perspectives working within museums and institutions ‘made by white people, for white people' - and why these particular works must travel to Europe and America, to highlight shared colonial histories, and what Aboriginality means today. Sullivan+Strumpf: Story, Place runs at Frieze No.9 Cork Street in London until 21 October, as part of Frieze London 2023. Join the Gallery this Saturday (12 October), for special exhibition tours and artist talks.

In this special Irish family history episode we take two letters from our Green Room members. We chat about the approach they should take to uncover more about their respective Irish ancestral homelands.The first letter comes from one of our members in Australia and shares the story of her Irish Irish ancestors. She wonders how to go about discovering the actual origin for these ancestors in Ireland. Mike shares his approach - and comes up with a target destination!In the second letter we chat about how people often jump back to the Irish records too soon - and often jump to incorrect conclusions. Mike takes a letter from a member from the USA. They are sure that their ancestor originated in County Cork - but Mike points out that some of the evidence just does not stack up. He shows how it is worthwhile going back to basics to find the real origin for your Irish ancestry.We also have Irish songs of emigration to provide some (additional) entertainment along the way.Music featured in this episode:"Shores of Botany Bay" performed by The Irish Rovers."Thousands are Sailing" performed by The Pogues."Galway Bay" performed by Bing Crosby.Support the Letter from Ireland Show:Thank you for listening to the Letter from Ireland show.

Le 4 juin 1629, le "Batavia", un navire affrété par la Compagnie néerlandaise des Indes orientales, fait naufrage dans un archipel inhabité de l'Australie occidentale.Cette catastrophe maritime est célèbre à plus d'un titre. Elle est d'abord restée dans les annales en raison du sort qui fut réservé aux survivants du naufrage. En effet, les journaux de bord de l'un des rescapés, dont les affirmations sont confirmées par les trouvailles faites sur place, notamment sur l'épave du navire, retrouvée en 1963, témoignent du sort tragique qui fut le leur.De fait, les survivants se seraient réfugiés sur une île inhabitée. Puis un adjoint de l'un des capitaines du bateau aurait fait régner la terreur parmi les naufragés. Les vivres auraient d'abord été rationnées, avant que les passagers ne soient répartis sur les îlots voisins.Mais le pire était à venir. En effet, environ 125 personnes, hommes, femmes et enfants, auraient été massacrées sur l'ordre de cet adjoint, les unes noyées et les autres égorgées dans leur sommeil.Quand un navire de secours parvient enfin sur les lieux du naufrage, en septembre 1629, un tiers seulement des passagers a survécu à ces mauvais traitements. Une expédition est alors organisée contre le dictateur, les meneurs sont pris et pendus, après que leur main droite eut été coupée.Quant aux autres mutins, ils sont ramenés à Batavia, centre de la colonie néerlandaise des Indes orientales, et exécutés à leur tour.Des preuves de ces tragiques événements ont été retrouvées sur les lieux. On a ainsi découvert des armes, fabriquées par les naufragés avec les moyens du bord. De même, des attaches en fer, mises au jour sur le site, pourraient être les vestiges d'une potence, où étaient pendus les récalcitrants.Par ailleurs, douze squelettes ont été exhumés. Il pourrait s'agir de ceux des premiers habitants européens de l'Australie, bien avant les marins néerlandais de l'"Endeavour", débarqués en 1770 à Botany Bay, et considérés, jusque là, comme les premiers Australiens.C'est aussi à ce titre que le naufrage du "Batavia" mérite de rester dans les mémoires.

Laura Banks Navigates "The Wrath of Khan" Laura Banks is familiar to Trekkies from her role in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" as Khan's navigator aboard the USS Reliant. One of her earliest acting roles, Laura went from a model to a performer, starring in Roger Corman B-movies and eventually pivoting into writing. Laura takes us on a trip through her origins in Hollywood to her time in Star Trek, working with Ricardo Montalban and Nicholas Meyer, becoming an Augment who spent time on Ceti Alpha V in The Botany Bay, and later a Federation Starship, and more from her unique work in that film. But, of course, Laura has other Trek connections too, like being an improv troupe with Whoopi Goldberg and eventually spending time with William Shatner (and DS9's James Darren) in "TJ Hooker,".... as well as some off-screen stories you have to hear! Plus, working with Roger Corman on "Wheels of Fire," writing comedy and best-selling books, and her new autobiography "The Wrath of Blonde"!

On the 29 April 1770, two men attempted to stop the disembarkation of a group of strange and unwelcome visitors on a beach in what came to be known as Botany Bay in Australia. The interlopers were lead by Captain James Cook of the British Royal Navy, and they were the first Europeans to make landfall in Eastern Australia. This incident had huge ramifications not just for the native Australians but also for people 10,000 miles away in Britain. With the so-called bloody code in force, Britons could face the death penalty for over 200 hundred offences. But the government lacked the infrastructure and the public the appetite for execution on an industrial scale. Australia provided a new avenue for the punishment of criminals. In this episode I discuss penal transportation with historian Brad Manera, Senior Historian and Curator of the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park, Sydney. He co-authored Australia's submission to UNESCO which resulted in 11 penal transportation locations in the being listed as World Heritage sites. I began our conversation by asking him to explain the origins of Britain's Australian colonies.
