Name: Dancing With Strangers by Paul Stanhope
Duration: 12 min 5 s
Description: “In January 1788 the First Fleet arrived in New South Wales and a thousand British men and women encountered the people who would be their new neighbours—the beach nomads of Australia. ‘These people mixed with ours, ’wrote a British observer soon after landfall, ‘and all hands danced together’”.
