Here's an article on the origin of the scene on the bill noted in the title.

Interesting story behind a picture that you just took for granted at the time.

Very interesting story... I agree that there's a dark side to our history all of which has not been told... and it should come out to help the healing process...

It is what it is. The $2 banknote of this series is about as historically important as that of the "oppressed" west coast fisherman on the $5 dollars of the same series. They all lost their fishboats and licences. Where does revisionism stop? Different times and different places. Today thankfully we are more enlightened than our fore fathers.
