Eora Nation 81: Who was Daringa the fisherwoman?(ABC Radio Sydney/Yuske Aso)

Most people have heard of Bennelong and Barangaroo. How about the other pair that was also caught up in the First Fleet's arrival? The other man who was also captured by Arthur Philip, Colebee, was married to Daringa, whose short life had earned her mention a few colonial journals. Sydney Living Museums' Aiesha Saunders dropped by in studio this morning to tell Wendy & Robbie the story of Daringa the fisherwoman.
