Returning to the Gallery by popular demand, Dr. Keith Vincent Smith, the eminent historian, author and curator will again discuss Bungaree’s life and story, through his many portraits.

Bungaree, known as the Chief of the Broken Bay Aborigines, was a central figure in early Colonial Sydney. As an Aboriginal leader, he was the first person known to have been called an ‘Australian’.

His story presents a rich and layered history of one man’s remarkable exploits and ability to navigate calamitous times to become a highly respected leader, and bridge between Aboriginal and white cultures.
