- Yarri_(Wiradjuri) abstract "Yarri (c1810 - 24 July 1880) was an Aboriginal man of the Wiradjuri language group from the Tumblong, Adelong area of New South Wales. Yarri or Yarree's traditional name of Coonong Denamundinna indicates he was of the Coonong pastoral property near Tumblong/Adelong N.S.W. which was also associated with the Coonong region downstream of Wagga Wagga in New South Wales. Yarri, and other Aboriginal men, are purported to have saved as many as 49 people in the Murrumbidgee floods at Gundagai, New South Wales on 25 June 1852, which killed either 78 or perhaps 89 people, out of the town's population of 250; it is one of the largest natural disasters in Australia's history. Local Aboriginal men, Yarri, Jacky Jacky, Long Jimmy and one other played a role in saving many Gundagai people from the 1852 floodwaters, rescuing many people using bark canoes. Yarri and Jacky Jacky were honored with bronze medallions for their efforts, and were allowed to demand sixpences from all Gundagai residents, although Yarri was maltreated on at least one occasion after the flood. Long Jimmy died not long after his rescues, possibly from the effects of being exposed to the freezing cold and wet conditions.Yarri may also have saved John Hargreaves in 1844, and remained a friend of the family for many years, living on their Tarrabandra farm until his death. A nulla-nulla and shield believed to belong to Yarri, was presented to the Gundagai Historical Society John Hargreaves grandson Dallas.Yarri was also known as Yarree or Coonong Denamundinna, and is believed to have killed John Baxter on the Edward John Eyre expedition in 1841, and also to have killed a young part Aboriginal woman 'Sally McLeod' near Gundagai in 1852. Warrants for Yarri/Yarree's arrest were issued by NSW Police after Brungle Aboriginal people reported him to the police over the Sally McLeod murder.Yarri's wife was known as Black Sally, who died in March 1873, while Yarri himself died on 24 July 1880 and is buried in the Catholic Section of the North Gundagai General Cemetery. Yarri Park, a recreation area below the main street in Gundagai, commemmorates his feat, Yarri Park, while a sundial was erected in his honour by descendents of Fred Horsley, one of the people he saved.A mural painted around the walls of the lounge bar in the Criterion Hotel in Gundagai depicts the scene.John Warner has composed a Song & Verse Cycle titled Yarri of Wiradjuri.".
