Naomi Parry Duncan's biography of Musquito — a Bidjigal man from the Sydney region who became one of the most significant First Nations resistance fighters of the early Australian colonies. Musquito was a young man when the First Fleet arrived at Port Jackson in 1788. Seventeen years later he was fighting for his Country west of Sydney, pursued by colonists. He was exiled first to Norfolk Island then to Van Diemen's Land, where he joined Palawa people in the resistance that ignited the Black War.
