Collins Beach

  • Landing at Collins Beach (see Circular Quay) in 1790, Governor Phillip and his officers met a group of Aborigines including Bennelong (see Sydney Opera House). An Eora man, never having seen white men before, speared Phillip through the shoulder. Assuming the man had misunderstood his intentions, Philip made no reprisal – that time.
