New South Wales Indigenous Men in Port Phillip

While much has been written about Victoria's European beginnings, less has been recorded of Aboriginal responses to colonisation, and very little has been said of the Indigenous men from NSW who played a role in these early years. This historical note investigates these men, their origins, how they came to be in Port Phillip, their actions in this infant colony and the outcomes of these engagements. It is another reminder of the mobility of Indigenous people in the colonial world and their surprising stories of independent action.
