The exploration of Ludwig Leichhardt's legacy reveals his complex role in both Australian and German cultural narratives. Despite his disappearance in 1848, Leichhardt's influence persists, as he has been appropriated for various political agendas, from colonialism to multiculturalism. This study examines how he has been reinterpreted over time, reflecting broader themes of memory and identity. Hurley delves into the implications of engaging with historical figures like Leichhardt, highlighting their ongoing relevance in shaping contemporary discussions around colonialism and social memory.
