Cricketer, whose real name was Bripumyarrimin. He was a member of the Australian Aboriginal cricket team that toured England in 1868. He died from tuberculosis and was buried at Victoria Park Cemetery. Unusually, this cemetery was never consecrated and was eventually turned into a park (now known as Meath Gardens).
