La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council have announced repatriation plans of three Gweagal spears.
On the 251st Anniversary of the first contact between the Gweagal people and Lieutenant James Cook on Wednesday, the date that these items were taken, it was announced that three significant Gweagal spears will be returning to Country.
“It will be the first time those spears will be back this close to Country since 1770,” LPLALC Chairperson Noeleen Timbery said at a commemoration held by Sydney s Sutherland Shire.
When the HMV Endeavour anchored at Kamay Botany Bay in 1770, Cook and his crew were famously met by two Gweagal men with spears.

In March last year a friend in Bangladesh forwarded a news item that said Australia’s borders would be closed until September. “Is it true!!!!” he exclaimed. I was sceptical and replied that neither the economy nor people’s limits of endurance would allow the closures to last that long. I thought we’d be flying again within a few months.
It’s in such moments you discover you’re really an optimist. One month into 2021 and the international borders are just as firmly closed as they were at the end of March, maybe more so. The most dire predictions don’t see us travelling internationally until next year. More than 30,000 Australians can’t even get a flight home.
