In 1826, the British set up a garrison on the edges of an
Aboriginal world at King George's Sound the site of present day
Albany, Western Australia with the aim of deterring the French from
occupying the area. The British newcomers and the area's Indigenous
inhabitants the King Ya-nup came to share a small space, forcing
both cultures to adapt in order to communicate and interact with
one another. Within this sphere, associations and friendships were
formed that were as surprising as they were unique. This
ethnographic history narrates several intimate cross-cultural
stories of the developing relationships between British and
Aboriginal individuals at King George's Sound. The episodes
recounted go beyond the common 'friendly' or 'violent' encounters,
unearthing instead how and why particular King Ya-nup engaged with
the British world, utilizing the new presence to seeming advantage.
