Woureddy

Woureddy (c.1790 – 7 July 1842), also known as Wurati, Woorady and Mutteelee, was a leading warrior and cleverman from the Nuenonne clan of Aboriginal Tasmanians in Australia.

He acted as a guide for George Augustus Robinson in his expeditions to round up the remaining Indigenous people of Tasmania during the early 1830s.

Woureddy was a highly significant figure in communicating Indigenous culture to Robinson and his disclosures remain a prime source of information about pre-colonial Aboriginal Tasmanian customs. He was also the husband of Truganini for period of around ten years.

His image, and the busts of him and Truganini have over time been utilised and incorporated in conversations about the past in Tasmania. The image by Thomas Bock is utilised in Cassandra Pybus's biography of Truganini.
