Pemulwuy, Aboriginal resistance leader

- bronze portait by Masha Marjanovich

He was wounded in battle

but he didnt give up.

He was shot and captured

but he didn't give up.

He was shackled in chains

but he didn't give up.

With shackles still on his legs

he rejoined the fight.

PEMULWUY  NEVER GAVE UP
