Tongerlongeter: First Nations Leader and Tasmanian War Hero Tasmania Inspired by the gorgeous birdsAn epic story of resistance, suffering and survival. Tongerlongeter resurrects a once in a generation leader all Australians can admire. Australia has no war hero more impressive than Tongerlongeter. Leader of the Oyster Bay nation of south east Tasmania in the 1820s and '30s, he and his allies led the most effective frontier resistance ever mounted on Australian soil. They killed or wounded some 354 or 4 per cent of the invaders of their country.
