William Buckley podcast
Posted by Dave Fagg on February 28, 2007
I have already posted a book review on a tome that imaginatively chronicled William Buckley’s life. In class, we’ve done some lessons on Pemulwuy and Bennelong, and their reactions to white settlement. I wanted to show them that there was a European who had an extremely positive experience of the indigenous people.
Have a listen here.

That haunting painting of Buckley is exhibited in the State Library of Victoria (Cowen Gallery) – just in case you didn’t know.

Thanks CNWB for the info. It is haunting, as if he’s remembering what a different life he has had. It’s made ironic by the ’strait-laced’ clothing he’s wearing, such a contrast to his life with the Wathaurong.
