David Dunlop officially recognises Boni (Potembo) as local chief

David Dunlop officially recognises Boni (Potembo) – like officials in the Hawkesbury recognised Yaragowhy and Yellomundy – as a local “chief”. Dunlop reports: “I have nominated one chief of the Wollombi and given him a [breast] plate”. Dunlop may have also bestowed a breastplate gorget on “Jetto, King of the Wallumbi”, whose breastplate is now in the Australian Museum in Sydney. (Ford)
