NotesIn the 1840s, white settlement in Queensland was under attack. A series of deadly raids on homesteads made the people of Brisbane anxious.
Young warrior Dundalli was renowned for his size and strength. With his band of warriors, he had the settlers in thrall for twelve years, evading capture again and again, until he was finally arrested and publicly executed.
Warrior is the extraordinary story of one of Australia’s little-known heroes, one of many Aboriginal men to die protecting their country. It is also a fresh and compelling portrait of life in the early days of white settlement of Brisbane and south east Queensland.
