Here he entertained the Governor a year later." - http://www.sydneybarani.com.au/sites/bennelong/]]> 2017-05-28 23:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rhys_larkin/bennelong_by_rhys_l/wish/174166894 rhys_larkin https://padlet.com/rhys_larkin/bennelong_by_rhys_l/wish/174167091 "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/]]> 2017-05-28 23:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/rhys_larkin/bennelong_by_rhys_l/wish/174167091 rhys_larkin https://padlet.com/rhys_larkin/bennelong_by_rhys_l/wish/174167346 Bennelong, who had long been troubled by alcohol, died at Kissing Point 3/1/1813.]]> 2017-05-28 23:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rhys_larkin/bennelong_by_rhys_l/wish/174167346 rhys_larkin https://padlet.com/rhys_larkin/bennelong_by_rhys_l/wish/174167588 2017-05-28 23:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rhys_larkin/bennelong_by_rhys_l/wish/174167588 rhys_larkin https://padlet.com/rhys_larkin/bennelong_by_rhys_l/wish/174167712 2017-05-28 23:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rhys_larkin/bennelong_by_rhys_l/wish/174167712 rhys_larkin https://padlet.com/rhys_larkin/bennelong_by_rhys_l/wish/174167964 "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/]]> 2017-05-28 23:39:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rhys_larkin/bennelong_by_rhys_l/wish/174167964 rhys_larkin https://padlet.com/rhys_larkin/bennelong_by_rhys_l/wish/174168162 "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/]]> 2017-05-28 23:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rhys_larkin/bennelong_by_rhys_l/wish/174168162
