Photograph - Kaawirn Kuunawarn (Hissing Swan) at Wombeetch Puyuun Grave Monument in the Camperdown Cemetery, 1885
When he died in February 1883, Wombeetch Puyuun was the last member of the Liwura Gundidj clan still living on Country at Camperdown. The Wombeetch Puyuun Grave Monument was erected by his friend and Guardian, James Dawson in 1885, largely at his own expense. At the top is engraved 1840, which marked the beginning of the demise of the local First Nations people. Below are a boomerang, a club, and a message stick. At the bottom is the year 1883 which saw the last of the local First Nations people on Country with the death of Wombeetch Puyuun. On the base are the words: "In memory of the Aborigines of this district. Here lies the body of the chief, Wombeetch Puyuun, and the last of the local tribes". Standing facing the monument is Kaawirn Kuunawarn (Hissing Swan), Elder of the Kirroe Wuurong tribe.Kaawirn Kuunawarn (Hissing Swan at the Wombeetch Puyuun Grave Monument in the Camperdown Cemeterycdhs, djargurd wurrung, djargurdwurrung, cdhsfirstnations, first nations people -
