First Peoples
First Fleet

Governor Arthur Phillip was the first governor of New South Wales. His treatment of the indigenous Aboriginal people was initially friendly as he made efforts to get to know the Sydney Eora Aboriginal people. These early gestures though, were undermined by the displacement of Aboriginal people further inland to make room for white settlers. Watch this interesting clip as it explains the many facets of Phillip's dealings with the indigenous Aboriginal population in the early years of Australia's settlement by colonists.
