Historical Reasoning & Interpretation
European occupation/colonisation of Australia including
the perspective of that occupation as invasion; issue
of recognition of native title and historical foundations
of land rights; impact on Aboriginal & Torres Straits
Islander communities.
This show is useful to students developing the ability
to frame research questions and other related skills of
Historical Reasoning and Interpretation, though the show's
consideration of the alternatives Buckley faces at various
points of his narrative.
With Victoria as the focus, BUCKLEY is relevant
to the above areas as follows:
• Through William Buckley as the Interpreter for
the Port Phillip Association and later for Capt. Lonsdale
(1835-7), the story of Melbourne's birth is told, including
the roles played by John Batman and John Fawkner.
• Also documented is the 1803 attempt at colonising
Port Phillip, with the penal settlement at Sullivan Bay
(Sorrento) from which Buckley escaped.
• By examining the nature and intent of Batman's
deed with the Woiwurrung, particularly in the light of
Gov. Bourke voiding the deed, the show asks questions,
such as, 'Had the deed stood, would Native Title have
been established in 1835?'
• Because Buckley lived in 'Victoria' both before
and after it's colonisation, he is uniquely placed to
give us a picture of the 'before and after' of the place
we all now live, as well as the Aboriginal sensibility
to the coming of white man. For instance, the Wathaurong
welcomed Buckley as a spirit returned from the dead, but
later had plans to demolish Batman's party, regarding
it as an invasion.
In all of the above, William Buckley's perspective is
important, because he lived both as an Englishman and
Koori.

CSF Level 5
VELS Level 5 Speaking & Listening
BUCKLEY employs various forms of storytelling
- straight narrative, yarn-spinning, dialogue, poetry,
characters, questioning to the audience to invite them
into the story, and official documents - and is therefore
relavant to many of the Curriculum Focus points listed
under Linguistic structures and Features. As a listening
show it is also useful in developing Strategies for
students to listen to the spoken texts and to identify
strategies used to influence a particular audience.
Drama
CSF Level 5/6
VELS Level 5/6 Exploring & Responding
In Arts Practice, BUCKLEY as storytelling theatre
- non-naturalistic and with the use of visual and textual
props - is relevant to the study of the ways in which
scenes/plays are developed and the development of character.
It is possible to use BUCKLEY for a discussion
of the styles and conventions that are employed in this
show, and to evaluate and discuss responses to the work.
Because students join Jan on stage, the show addresses
a curriculum area of acting skills, and Level 6 may
do a review of the piece.
