Jack, an Aboriginal, and his friends, the famous Truganini (said, incorrectly, to be the 'last' Tasmanian Aborigine), Bob, Matilda and Fanny brought to Victoria from Tasmania to help'tame' the Victorian Aborigines. The group breaks away from Robinson, the Aboriginal Protector, to seek revenge for their fate, stranded far from homeland.The early white settlers of the Port Phillip District get more than they expected as the Aborigines rampage on the Peninsula, chased by trooper. The outcome is the horrific first public execution in the bustling town of Melbourne.truganini, 1812-1876. | aboriginal tasmanians -- treatment. | aboriginal tasmanians -- victoria -- treatment. | aboriginal tasmanians -- government relations. | aboriginal australians -- victoria -- government relations. | victoria -- history -- 1834-1851.

Through a selection of the many document, painting and engravings held in the Mitchell and Dixon collections of the State Library of New South Wales, a picture of life in Australia is reconstructed - spanning the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 to 1822 when the first generation of white Australians had accepted the continent as their home.Those who left no written records: the Aboriginal people; white women and convicts, have been brought to the foreground to give a balanced perspective of history during the earliest decades of European habitation in Australia.The Coming of The Strangers accompanies a major exhibition being held at the State Library of New South Wales during 1988. In co-ordinating both this book and the exhibition, the Mitchell Librarian, Baiba Berzins brings to public view many letters, journals and works of art that have not been published or displayed for over a century.australia -- history -- 1788-1851
