As convicts attack Aboriginal people and steal their tools and weapons, tensions grow. Governor Phillip captures some Aboriginal men to convince them that his way of life is better. However, as the settlement expands Aboriginal people continue to lose their land and important places.An Aboriginal man named Pemulwuy organises resistance against the settlers. He is eventually captured and his head cut off and sent to England. His son Timbery took over as leader to continue the battle for their land and that battle continues to this day - over 200 years later.This series explores a range of topics and issues in Australia's history for a middle primary audience.
