The Bennelong Society was a conservative think-tank dedicated to Indigenous Australian affairs.
The society was named after the Eora man Bennelong, who served as an interlocutor between the Indigenous Australian and British cultures, both in Sydney and in the United Kingdom almost from the start of British settlement of Australia in 1788.
[4] It was one of a number of groups, including the H. R. Nicholls Society, Samuel Griffith Society and Lavoisier Group, promoted by Australian business leader and political activist Ray Evans.
The Society was wound up in 2011[5] but its work was partly continued by a "Bennelong papers" section of the Quadrant magazine website.
[6] The Society held an annual conference and awarded the Bennelong Medal from 2002.
