"Much of the profile of Bennelong has been created by the writings of Judge Advocate David Collins (who preferred the spelling Bennilong) and Captain Watkin Tench (who chose Bennillon). They viewed him as an experiment in ‘softening, enlightening and refining a barbarian’. While Bennelong suffered from the worst aspects of enculturation, he also represented those who tried to effect change in the behaviour of Europeans on Aboriginal lands. Phillip was ordered to open dialogue with Aborigines and to live in a conciliatory manner, but he had a passion himself to ‘civilise’ them. He took possession of the land in the name of King George without any reference to previous ownership, and began to forge relationships with people like Bennelong to learn about and change the locals. And while Phillip’s dispatches told the British Government that Aborigines in Sydney had a strong attachment to the land, no return policy came in reply." - http://www.sydneybarani.com.au/sites/bennelong/

"Although he was said to have had a love-hate relationship with both the settlement and Phillip, he and his kinsman Yemmerrawanne travelled with him to England in 1792, and was presented to King George III on 24 May 1793. Yemmerrawanne died and was buried in Britain, but Bennelong arrived back in February 1795 obviously influenced by the British with a new sense of dress and behaviour, something he tried to impart on his family." - http://www.sydneybarani.com.au/sites/bennelong/

"When Bennelong's wife wanted to give birth at the Governor’s House to maintain links with the land, and to avoid the hospital which she thought of as somewhere where people died, Phillip denied her the right, persuading Bennelong to take her to the hospital where she died shortly after giving birth." - http://www.sydneybarani.com.au/sites/bennelong/

"Bennelong was present when Governor Arthur Phillip was speared at Manly in May 1790 and later that year asked the governor to build him a hut on what became known as later known as Bennelong Point, the site of today’s Sydney Opera House. Here he entertained the Governor a year later." - http://www.sydneybarani.com.au/sites/bennelong/
