Bennelong and Yemmerrawanyea sail to England
Description
Bennelong and Yemmerrawanyea, of the Dharug people, sailed to England with Governor Arthur Phillip in 1792. The pair were presented to King George III during their sojourn overseas. In 1794, Yemmerrawanyea died and Bennelong, suffering from sickness, became anxious to return home. He returned to Sydney in 1795 but found himself isolated from his people and not fully accepted by colonial society.
