Who really was Woollarawarre Bennelong? We know the name well enough, but who was the man? Bennelong was among the first Indigenous Australians to reside amongst the British settlers, forged links with and fostered greater understanding between the two cultures. A choice that saw his character unfairly assailed by Sydney's poisonous colonial press. So much time and opinion has passed that the facts are clouded. It seems the more we scratch the surface, the more the humanity of Bennelong is revealed in all his complexity.
