NEWS FROM LA PEROUSE

Four lines from Adam Joseph who was at La Perouse today:

Today Aunty Noeline Timbery announced that the Gweagal spears would be coming to Sydney for the first time in 251 years.

As I waited for the annual meeting of Two Cultures event to begin, I ‘discovered’ Warrigal greens growing at the landing site. As it was when Cook, Banks, et al ate it with stingray.

See: Nadine Silva, ‘The three spears taken from the Gweagal people by Captain Cook and his crew in 1770 are set to be returned from UK’s Cambridge University to Kamay-Botany Bay’ – NITV News, 30 April 3021.
