The webpage discusses the early conflicts between colonists and Aboriginal people in the Sydney region from 1788 to 1817, focusing on the increasing violence and resistance from the Aboriginal population. It highlights the role of Lieutenant William Bradley’s journal in documenting these conflicts and the impact of British military tactics on relations with the Aboriginal people. The author aims to shed light on the often-overlooked history of these early frontier wars and their significance in Australian history.
