Episode 38
Alien Invasion II (Legacies of Colonisation pt. 3)
Was there war between First Peoples and the newcomers from Britain? If so, when did it begin, and how? This episode takes us beyond the limits of Sydney town to discover what was going on in the bush and the reasons for conflict. Who drove these developments, and where did they lead?
Note: some parts of this episode may not be suitable for younger listeners.
