The blog name Bennethon was inspired by the intriguing Aboriginal Bennelong who was able to live astride two cultures the newest to him being the incursion of convicts under Governor Arthur Phillip in 1788. The ...thon was to signify the marathon it has been and still is in enabling the return of dignity and self determination to the indigenous peoples of Australia. A bit too obtuse readers might claim. Anyhow there it is for what it is.
I love reading about Bennelong and walking around Bennelong point in Sydney.
Enough already!
