Bungaree was a significant figure in the early years of Sydney. He featured in journals, newspapers and official correspondence, and was the subject of many portraits. We see him as others saw him and with the benefit of hindsight we encounter a man more accomplished than his contemporaries realized, whose life was marked by tribulation.
