Dating back to 1688, this image provides a glimpse into the early interactions between European settlers and indigenous Australians.
In the picture, we see Dampier, known for his explorations of Australia and contributions to natural history, being introduced to one of the iconic tools of Aboriginal culture - the boomerang. This exchange symbolizes the clash of two worlds, as well as the curiosity and fascination that accompanied early encounters between different cultures.
The image is not just a snapshot in time but also serves as a reminder of Australia's complex colonial history and the impact it had on its indigenous population. It prompts us to reflect on how these interactions shaped Australian society today.
