Tell me what date in aborigine history was more significant than 26 January 1788 ?
On that date the whole aborigine race was brought into the whole world family.
Up to then only a few Indonesians knew of a few aborigines.
The vast majority knew nothing of the rest of humanity.
They had verbal stories of Cooks arrival 18 years previously.
Did they have any concept of the globe on which they lived ?
It was a new beginning, an opening up of the horizon.
