Bungaree (1775–1830) was an Aboriginal Australian of the Kuringgai people from an area north of Sydney at Broken Bay. In the 1790s, he moved to the growing colonial settlement and became a trusted intermediary between the local population and the early settlers. He accompanied Matthew Flinders on his circumnavigation of Australia, 1801–03. Bungaree provided invaluable diplomatic service during various encounters with local peoples, helping to overcome language barriers and other misunderstandings. Flinders described him warmly as 'a worthy and brave fellow'. He returned to Sydney, becoming a familiar figure in colonial society, wearing a series of naval and military uniforms given to him by visitors. He also continued his involvement in voyages of exploration, sailing with Captain Phillip Parker King to north-western Australia in 1817. He died on 24 November 1830 and was remembered in obituaries in the ‘Sydney Gazette’ and ‘The Australian’.
