Summary
Anne Benbow lived her entire life in Oyster Cove, Tasmania, much of it on an old Aboriginal reserve. Despite the fact that many of Benbow's works appear to have been created from idealised childhood memories, they nevertheless provide a unique insight into the kinds of relationships and encounters colonial settlers had with local Indigenous communities.
