In this episode of The Story of Australia, Lucas and Luna explore the catastrophic 1843 Gundagai floods, which wiped out the fledgling colonial town and killed 89 people—one-third of its population. They examine how the Wiradjuri people, who had lived along the Murrumbidgee River for millennia, warned settlers not to build on the floodplain. The conversation delves into the archaeological evidence of Wiradjuri seasonal movement, the colonial dismissal of Indigenous land knowledge, and the aftermath of the disaster, which led to the relocation of Gundagai. Lucas also discusses the role of Yarri, a Wiradjuri man who saved dozens of lives during the flood, and the contested legacy of his heroism. The episode touches on broader themes of environmental history, frontier relations, and the resilience of Aboriginal knowledge systems. #Gundagai #Wiradjuri #Murrumbidgee #Yarri #1843Flood #AustralianHistory #ColonialAustralia #IndigenousKnowledge #Frontier #Disaster #EnvironmentalHistory #Resilience #Floodplain #NewSouthWales #AboriginalHistory #Settlement #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
