Governor Arthur Phillip was born in London, England in 1738.
Phillip arrived in London in May 1793
Bennelong was captured in November 1789, for the purpose of being used to mediate between the white and Aboriginal cultures. The Governor of New South Wales, Captain Arthur Phillip, wished to learn about the language and customs of the indigenous people. Bennelong willingly liaised between the cultures, and adopted European dress and other ways.
Captain Arthur Phillip took the Aborigine Bennelong to England. Bennelong was a senior man of the Eora, a Koori, people of the Port Jackson area, when the First Fleet arrived in Australia, in 1788. He was captured on 25 November 1789, for the purpose of being used as a mediary between the white and Aboriginal cultures. Captain Arthur Phillip, wanted to learn about the language and customs of the indigenous people. Bennelong willingly liaised between the cultures, and adopted European dress and other ways. Bennelong travelled with Phillip to England in 1792, and returned to Australia in 1795. However, he was ostracised from his own people, the Aborigines, when he found it too difficult to integrate into the European culture, and tried to return to his own people. He died on 3 January 1813.
Captain Arthur Phillip, the first Governor of New South Wales, chose to return to England because of poor health. Soon after arriving back in England, Phillip resigned his commission.
Bennelong, the Aborigine who was immersed in white culture during the governorship of Captain Arthur Phillip, died in 1813.
Captain Arthur Phillip learned more about the Australian Aborigines by direct contact with them, which he achieved by kidnapping several Aborigines. Bennelong and Arabanoo were two of the Aborigines he kidnapped in an attempt to learn to understand them better, and to learn to communicate with them. He developed a strong relationship with Bennelong, who even travelled back to England with Arthur Phillip, where he was presented before the king. Whilst this move assisted Arthur Phillip in leaning about the Aborigines, it did little for Bennelong. He found he could not integrate properly into white society, and his own people rejected him for adopting European ways. He found himself caught between two opposing worlds.
