Welcome to The Bennelong Society Website

Important Announcement from the Bennelong Society:
Website to Close in early 2012

The Board of the Bennelong Society has decided to maintain registration of the Society and to retain its domain name for the time being, but regrets to announce that it will no longer run a website from early next year.

Important books and papers published by the Society over the last decade are being progressively transferred to the Quadrant website and it is anticipated that this process will be complete by the end of January next year, after which the Bennelong site will be closed down.

The Board would like to thank all of its members and supporters over the last 10 years. For those who wish for better Aboriginal policy, the Board recommends they contribute to Quadrant. Any queries about Bennelong should be directed to the President, Dr Gary Johns, through our Contact page.
