About
Lecture by Dr. Keith Vincent Smith as part of the Guringai Festival
Bungaree, known as the Chief of the Broken Bay Aborigines, was a central figure in early Colonial Sydney. An Aboriginal leader, he was the first person known to have been called an 'Australian'. His story presents a rich and layered history of one man's remarkable exploits and ability to navigate calamitous times to become a highly respected leader, and bridge between Aboriginal and white cultures.
