In 1885, a small government expedition set out from Cooktown to chart the unknown coastline of Far North Queensland and establish friendly contact with Aboriginal communities. Led by explorer and naturalist William Saville-Kent, the party encountered the Kuku Yalanji, Guugu Yimithirr, and Wik peoples, documented rock art at Laura, and narrowly avoided disaster on the Great Barrier Reef. This episode follows the voyage of the schooner 'Alert', examining the tangled motives of science, commerce, and colonial expansion in Australia's last frontier. Saville-Kent's journals reveal both genuine ethnographic curiosity and the assumptions of a man who saw Indigenous cultures as dying, not living. The expedition also sparked a bitter controversy over the collection of Aboriginal skeletal remains, pitting Saville-Kent against the Protector of Aborigines. A little-known story that illuminates how knowledge was gathered — and stolen — on the edge of empire. #History #FexingoHistory #Australia #Queensland #WilliamSavilleKent #KukuYalanji #GuuguYimithirr #Wik #GreatBarrierReef #Cooktown #LauraRockArt #Expedition #1885 #ColonialScience #AboriginalHistory #Frontier #Anthropology #SkeletalRemains Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
