11.01.2022 Great article on Captain Cook featuring an interview with Walbanga and Wadi Wadi film maker Alison Page. One of the most little talked about aspects of this whole story is the utter madness of sending 11 ships and 1500 people across the world to make a colony based on such a paltry account. This and other evidence has led some historians to assert that economic exploitation and nation building was very much a secondary concern for the British at this early stage, lagging far behind the need to replace the now independent American colonies as a destination for the unwanted masses of destitute people packed into slums because of Enclosure and the Industrial Revolution. Something sobering for Anglo-Celtic Australians to ponder on January 26 along with invasion!
