Australian Frontier Wars: Cape Grim Massacre (10 February 1828) Result: VDLC victory, Aboriginals driven from cape. After a series of raids by Aboriginals on farms owned by Van Diemen's Land Company in Tasmania, 4 VDLC workers ambushed the Aboriginals by the shoreline, killing over 30 Aboriginal men and dumping their bodies over the cliff. This even wouldn't be known to the public for 2 years. No one would be persecuted by authorities. The massacre was part of the "Black War," a series of conflicts in Tasmania. #Au @FaithAndFolk2

“Culture in Australia …begins …from British culture, brought hither by Englishmen, Irishmen, and Scotsmen throughout the nineteenth century. In a new and quite different environment from that of those damp British Islands we are here developing the culture which evolved there. We spring fully armed from the head of Jove, or fully cultured from the head of John Bull. Australian culture begins with a general background of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Herrick, Byron, Charles Dickens; …We inherit all that Britain has inherited, and from that point we go on …a gum tree is not a branch of an oak; our Australian culture will evolve distinctively.” - Percy Stephensen #Au @FaithAndFolk2
