Interpreter.

Exactly nor negotiator... he could no better converse with thus not be able to negotiate with different tribes around the coast than Flinders could.

So he was there why?

Flinders wanted him I assume believing him in some way useful in dealing with the Natives.

What's the reason you think he should have a statue?

I've read that Wiki a bit more now. That trip he went on as negotiator and interpreter was not the circumnavigation. It was to local coastal areas around Sydney. Re the circumnavigation:

Quote:

He was recruited by Flinders on his circumnavigation of Australia between 1801 and 1803 in the Investigator.[7][5] Flinders was the cartographer of the first complete map of Australia, filling in the gaps from previous cartographic expeditions, and was the most prominent advocate for naming the continent "Australia". Flinders noted that Bungaree was "a worthy and brave fellow" who, on multiple occasions, saved the expedition.[8] Bungaree was the only indigenous Australian on the ship - and as such, played a vital diplomatic role as they made their way around the coast, overcoming not inconsiderable language barriers in places. According to historian Keith Vincent, Bungaree chose the role as a go-between, and was often able to mollify indigenous people who were about to attack the sailors, by taking off his clothes and speaking to people, despite being in territory unknown to himself. Flinders later wrote in his memoirs of Bungaree's "good disposition and open and manly conduct" and his kindness to the ship's cat, Trim.[5]

He's famous or rather - infamous.

Well Queensland already has The Big Pineapple but I see no reason why they couldn't have a big child pinner.

Cabbies the world over would travel to see his not small right hand pinning a terrified child against a tree.

On the Big Pinner statue you'll be able to insert a $2 coin in a slot and Aussie's actual recorded voice booms out. WHICH RETARD.

No, I don't blame the cats. It's the damn sailors who didn't throw then overboard whilst they were still out at sea who are at fault.

That's awful - you can't throw the pussy overboard to die!

How would you like to be thrown overboard out in the deep sea?

I wouldn't throw them overboard to die. They're free to swim back to England if they want.
