Aboriginal spears seized by Captain Cook's crew to return to Australia
A ceremony at a Cambridge University college will mark the permanent repatriation to Australia of four Aboriginal spears that were brought to England by Captain James Cook more than 250 years ago.
A delegation from Australia will attend Trinity College’s Wren Library where the artefacts – described as “exceptionally significant” – will be permanently returned to the La Perouse Aboriginal community.
Their return was agreed in
