Abstract
We do not know the date on the Christian calendar, but some time
after the beginning of 1791 Warreweer, a woman of the Wangal clan
and Eora people, went into labour at the rownship of Sydney Cove.
For Warrcwecr, such chronology was irrelevant, and she probably
saw it as some winters after hec brother Bennelong was kidnapped
from his clan. This had occurred during a November 1789 meeting
when his people befriended and danced with some of the British
visitors. The Wangal clan owned and occupied the area around the
present Balmain and its surrounds-the inner-west of today's real
estate advertisements.
