In this episode, we explore the little-known but fascinating story of the Bathurst Rebellion, a dramatic event that shook colonial New South Wales in the early 19th century. Using contemporary sources and folklore, we delve into the details of this rebellion, in which a group of settlers rose up against the corrupt colonial authorities, leading to a violent confrontation with the military.
We also examine the wider social and political context of the time, including the tensions between wealthy landowners and poor settlers, and the struggles of early Australian society to establish law and order. Through this lens, we gain a deeper understanding of the factors that led to the rebellion, and the enduring legacy it had on Australian history. With a focus on engaging storytelling and historical insight, this episode offers a thrilling and thought-provoking look at a little-known but fascinating chapter in Australian history.
