In 1868, a team of Aboriginal Australian cricketers became the first Australian sporting team to tour England, playing 47 matches across the country. This episode tells the story of the tour, focusing on key figures like Johnny Mullagh (Unaarrimin), a star all-rounder from the Jardwadjali people, and Charles Lawrence, their English coach and promoter. We explore how the tour was shaped by colonial politics, the legacy of frontier violence, and the players' experiences as both athletes and ethnographic exhibits. The team's tour was a commercial venture, but also a moment of Aboriginal agency within a system of tight control. We follow the players from their homes in western Victoria to the cricket grounds of England, and examine what happened after they returned: how the promise of reward faded, and how the memory of their achievement was nearly lost. This is a story of skill, resilience, and the complex intersections of sport, race, and empire in the 19th century. #AboriginalCricket #JohnnyMullagh #Jardwadjali #CharlesLawrence #1868Tour #ColonialAustralia #CricketHistory #AboriginalHistory #AustraliaHistory #Unaarrimin #JimmyJury #Bullocky #Sunderland #LordLindsay #Gunditjmara #Framlingham #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
