Site unseen in a small forest west of the Bay of Fires our chief Mannalargenna and his people made an agreement with George Augustus Robinson. A temporary stay on the islands of the Bass Strait. If only they knew, not only of their eminent death but the future of the surviving tribe. We, still remember. A site that changed the course of history.
