The friendship between Captain Arthur
Phillip and Aboriginal Bennelong is one of Australia’s most important
and intriguing stories, yet it remains largely unknown...
The Unlikely Story of Bennelong and Phillip is the second book in a series of books from Berbay Publishing exploring first settlement history in Australia.
This extraordinary story of the friendship between Captain Arthur Phillip and Aboriginal Bennelong is one of Australia’s most important and intriguing stories, yet it remains largely unknown.
The background of first settlement heightens the polarity between the worlds of these two people — traditional Aboriginal culture and values versus European culture and values.
The book has been beautifully written by Michael Sedunary and is perfectly complemented by the extraordinary artwork by celebrated Australian ceramic artist, Bern Emmerichs.
