Yesterday was the 200th anniversary of the Australia's only military revolt -- the Rum Rebellion of 1808. The costumed figures are presenting a tableau of the moment when Captain Johnston, head of the rebels, announced the arrest of Governor Bligh (of Bounty fame) to the townsfolk. Panorama. The tableau emulates a version of the scene by painter Raymond Lindsay. The Sydney Morning Herald has a very detailed multimedia account of the rebellion.
