William Buckley: Rediscovered 12 May until 8 July William Buckley was a giant - six foot six in stockinged feet. But his story is even bigger. Buckley escaped Victoria's first penal settlement in 1803 and lived with the Wathaurong people for the next thirty-two years. He gave himself up to John Batman's party at Indented Heads in 1835, only to become embroiled in the controversial and sometimes violent early settlement of Port Phillip. In modern times, Buckley is a figure of reconciliation, and his legend has been re-interpreted by many Australian artists, including Sue Anderson, Rod Carmichael, Philip Davey, Juan Davila and Jan Senbergs.
