  1. I could not believe my eyes, (and we Mandrills have good eyesight), at the so called invasion, there were at least two people taking shots with their smart-phones. Second on the right from the flag pole and another, a bit further back. Guess Buckingham Palace got an e-mail with the photos and caption,”landed peacefully, all good, God save………..etc”.

    1. Very well observed Milton. I think the saying goes “the only true wilderness is between a Greenies ears”. I think most Aborigines are pleased that the British came, after all they brought wheels and all sorts of other hi tech gadgets. But I don’t think they improved the boomerang, it was an aerodynamic masterpiece in my opinion. Gave a few Chimps bad headaches when they test flew them in the early days though. Gibber! Gibber!

  2. Governor Phillip had good intentions towards the aborigines, but the clash of cultures (hence the “invasion”?) came when the aborigines thought that white-men’s property/livestock was to be shared…commonly-owned…as it was in their culture. The trouble started when the white settlers defended their property/livestock by shooting the natives. So the cycle of kill-revenge started. If the Brits hadn’t done their empire-building back then, the French and the Dutch would’ve certainly jumped into the “void”. Power and might in this world will always make prey of the weak. Thank goodness Jesus’ way is quite the opposite!

    1. I see what you mean Paul. Us Chimps suffered many “invasions” also. I must say I often feel my privacy is the most invaded, but I do enjoy the extra bananas the public offers me. I wonder if they will try and unravel all the “invasions” that happened in Europe? They may find they have to put a Chimp back on the English throne, if evolution’s really true. Boy, I’m fortunate to have this jumping gene that Google mentions. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley the Thinking Chimp, (PhD in Gibberish, Congo).
