In 1988, an Aboriginal man named Burnum Burnum visited the white cliffs of Dover and planted the Aboriginal flag, claiming England on behalf of his people.
Burnum Burnum may be best remembered for planting the Aboriginal flag on the white cliffs of Dover on the Australian Bicentenary Day of 26 January 1988. This was his tongue-in-cheek way of claiming England, as Arthur Phillip had done to Burnum Burnum's homeland in 1788 when arriving with the First Fleet.
This guy had a sense of humor and was also an actor being credited in at least 6 motion pictures. He's got his own page on IMDb.
