Buckley & the Wadawurrung

The Bellarine Peninsula lies on the traditional lands of the Wadawurrung people. A unique insight into their lives emerges through the remarkable story of William Buckley. Transported to Australia for theft In 1803, the English convict absconded from his camp in present-day Sorrento. Making his way around Port Phillip Bay, the fugitive befriended the Wadawurrung, with whom he lived for almost 30 years, learning their language and customs, and marrying a Buninyong woman. The period is detailed in his autobiography, The Life and Adventures of William Buckley, as well as in Buckley’s Chance, a well-researched historical fiction account by Garry Linnell.
