Yarramundi
Yarramundi (ca. 1760 – after 1818) was an Indigenous Australian called by Europeans "the chief of the Richmond Tribe" or "Tribes". He was a member of the Boorooberongal clan of the Darug people, and was a ''garadyi'' or "doctor". Yarramundi and his father Gomebeeree met Governor Arthur Phillip on 14 April 1791, and this meeting is described by Watkin Tench (who spells his name ''Yellomundee'') in his ''A Complete Account of the Settlement at Port Jackson'', published in 1793. Yarramundi's daughter, Maria (born 1805) was the first Aboriginal child to be placed in the Native Institute at Parramatta, where she won the Yearly state Examinations ahead of 100 white children.
