Hawkesbury And Nepean Wars
The Hawkesbury and Nepean Wars (1794–1816) were a series of conflicts where British forces, including armed settlers and detachments of the British Army in Australia, fought against Indigenous clans inhabiting the Hawkesbury River region and the surrounding areas to the west of Sydney. The wars began in 1794, when the British started to construct farms along the river, some of which were established by soldiers. The local Darug people raided farms and murdered settlers until Governor Macquarie dispatched troops from the 46th Regiment of Foot in 1816. These troops patrolled the Hawkesbury Valley and ended the conflict by killing 14 Indigenous Australians in a raid on their campsite. Indigenous Australians led by Pemulwuy also conducted raids around Parramatta during the period between 1795 and 1802. These attacks led Governor Philip Gidley King to issue an order in 1801 which authorized settlers to shoot Indigenous Australians on sight in Parramatta, Georges River and Pro ...

Nepean Bay (Canada)
Nepean Bay, is a bay in the Ottawa River in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is located between Lemieux Island and the Chief William Commanda Bridge on the west and LeBreton Flats on the east. History In the early 20th century, the bay was used for Ottawa's drinking water. In 1912, experts deemed the bay "no fit place under which to lay an intake pipe without great precautions", due to the intake pipe being in disrepair due to the number of logs in the bay from Ottawa's lumber industry. During a typhoid fever epidemic at the time, tests taken from drinking water from the bay showed that it was contaminated with pollution. Plans to build a pipeline to carry treated water over the bay as a bridge was dismissed as a "wild undertaking". In 1938, following complaints of "nude bathing" at the bay, the city entertained the possibility of establishing a public beach at the site. The southern half of the bay (40 acres) was in-filled with garbage from excavation work on government projects ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kìwekì Point
Kìwekì Point (), formerly Nepean Point, is a hill overlooking the Ottawa River in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is located between the National Gallery of Canada and Alexandra Bridge. The site is managed by the National Capital Commission (NCC). The hill had originally been named after Evan Nepean. At the peak of the hill is a statue of French explorer Samuel de Champlain holding his famous astrolabe upside-down. It was made by sculptor Hamilton MacCarthy in 1915. Previously, the statue also featured a kneeling Anishinabe scout, added in 1918 to "signify how the native people helped Champlain navigate through the waters of the Ottawa River".

The original site also featured several other sculptures and an amphitheatre known as "Astrolabe Theatre".

History Unlike Norfolk and Phillip Islands, Nepean is not volcanic in origin, but is Late Pleistocene limestone formed from wind blown sand dunes between the last two ice ages.
