In 1797, seventeen shipwrecked men began walking hundreds of kilometres along the Australian coast towards Sydney. Only three would make it. But they did not survive that journey alone.

The men were survivors of the Sydney Cove, which had been wrecked in Bass Strait. A group set off in a longboat to reach Sydney and find help, only for disaster to strike again when their boat was wrecked on the mainland coast.

With Sydney still hundreds of kilometres away, they began walking north.

As they reached the far South Coast they were entering Country completely unfamiliar to them, but known intimately by Aboriginal people who had lived along this coastline for countless generations.

Near Nadgee they encountered Thaua people who welcomed the exhausted travellers. Historical accounts describe Aboriginal people accompanying them towards Pambula, showing them the way and sharing food with them.

As the survivors continued north through Yuin Country, Aboriginal communities helped them cross rivers and waterways in bark canoes and shared food including shellfish. William Clark, one of the survivors, recorded these encounters in his account of the journey.

Not every encounter was peaceful, and the journey became increasingly desperate as hunger, exhaustion and illness took their toll.

After around two months travelling along the coast, only three of the original seventeen reached the Sydney region alive.

Today the journey is remembered as an extraordinary early European survival story. But there is another side of the story that deserves to be remembered.

These men were not walking through an empty wilderness. They were walking through Aboriginal Country.

They were strangers who were lost, hungry and trying to survive on a coastline they barely knew. Aboriginal people knew the Country, knew where to find food, knew how to cross the waterways, and chose to help them.
