Blue plaque on the house lived in on Stromness by the lying grifter racist Eliza Fraser, with absurd claim using outdated unacceptable language.
House in Russell St, Bath once lived in by the spectacular failure Arthur Phillip, first military governor of The colony of NSW.
Plaque on the Russell St house in Bath claiming Arthur Phillip was the 'founder of Modern Australia' ha a aahaaaaarrr.
Well. Historical plaque folderol in the UK venerates the grifter Eliza Fraser, libeller of Butchulla people, & BS reason for brief renaming of K'gari as Fraser Island, plus ludicrous summation of Arthur Phillip's failed, brutal faff-around as 1st military colonial governor of NSW. #colonialnonsense
