In this episode, we head to Beowa National Park, to uncover the lesser-known stories behind one of Australia’s most infamous colonial figures, Benjamin Boyd- whose dicey legacy is literally etched into the landscape.
We explore a life of ambition, influence, and wealth—and the human cost that history has often left unrecorded. From the lives of South Sea Islanders coerced into labor to the whitewashing of history in museums and memoirs, we uncover the shadows behind celebrated landmarks and heroic myths.
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses historical instances of exploitation, coercion, and violence, including the forced labor of South Sea Islanders and the impact of colonial practices on Indigenous communities. Listener discretion is advised.
