In this episode, we travel back in time to the early days of Australia's colonial history and explore the infamous Rum Rebellion of 1808. The colony's military governor, William Bligh, had a reputation for being tough and uncompromising, but he found himself at odds with the colony's wealthy and powerful rum traders. In January 1808, a group of these traders led a rebellion against Bligh, deposing him from office and seizing control of the colony.

With quotes from historians and contemporary media , we explore the wider social and political context of the rebellion and its enduring legacy in Australian history.
