La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council have announced repatriation plans of three Gweagal spears. On the 251st Anniversary of the first contact between the Gweagal people and Lieutenant James Cook on Wednesday, the date that these items were taken, it was announced that three significant Gweagal spears will be returning to Country.  “It will be the first time those spears will be back this close to Country since 1770,” LPLALC Chairperson Noeleen Timbery said at a commemoration held by Sydney s Sutherland Shire. When the HMV Endeavour anchored at Kamay Botany Bay in 1770, Cook and his crew were famously met by two Gweagal men with spears.
