Soon after Bennelong and Governor Phillip left New South Wales in 1792, the relationship between the Indigenous population and the British settlers experienced significant tensions. Bennelong, a Wangal man, had been a key figure in mediating between the two groups, but his departure marked a shift as conflicts over land and resources escalated.

These conditions set the stage for ongoing struggles and misunderstandings in the years that followed.
