Truganini memorial at Bruny Island defaced with image of Captain Cook
Truganini memorial at Bruny Island defaced with image of Captain Cook
Feb 20, 2021 It is an indication of the "underlying racism in this country" that a monument to famous Tasmanian Indigenous woman Truganini has been vandalised with an image of English explorer Captain James Cook, an Aboriginal community leader says. The memorial to Truganini, a stone cairn with plaque and image, stands atop the popular lookout at The Neck, Bruny Island, in Tasmania's south-east. It is believed sometime over the last few days, spray paint and a stencil were used to apply an image of Captain Cook's face to the stone column. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02-...bruny/13175104 |
