Australia’s colonial history is largely told from the settler perspective, centred around the arrival of James Cook and the Endeavour almost 250 years ago.

But one chapter of our shared history tells of a number of Aboriginal Australians making their way to Britain, from the late 18th century through to the 21st century.

“Counter currents: Aboriginal men and women at the Heart of Empire” presented by Professor of Indigenous History at the University of Newcastle, John Maynard.
