Evan's early colonial exploration to Bathurst (1813), and subsequent Aboriginal dispossession.

Owen White.

lyrics

Lyrics
--------

Statue stands on Kings Parade
Surveyor with a noble gaze
White man’s tribute to the time
When they crossed the Great Divide
Yeah, when they crossed the Great Divide

1813 was the year
The governor moved the troops out here
So they opened up the plains
To dispossession, fear and pain
Yeah, fear and pain

See the fires burning bright
Feel the anger and the fright
From your homeland you must run
Because the war has just begun

So they came and took up the land
Farmers, soldiers and the convict man
And they brought their rule of law
Where the wealthy rule the poor
Yeah, where the wealthy rule the poor

Grab your children, run and hide
Run from all your sacred sites
From disease, death and scourge
Your bravest heroes will emerge

Lonely statue on the plains
Birdshit blocks your noble gaze
The fairytale of your glory
Is just a made-up hollow story
Yeah, it’s a made-up hollow story

Fairytale of your glory
Is just a made-up hollow story
