Bennelong

For thoughtful child sponsors
Bennelong was a senior man of the Eora, a Koori, (Aboriginal) people of the Port Jackson area, at the time of the first British settlement in Australia, in 1788.

Bennelong is commemorated in the Australian Federal electoral division (seat) of the same name in New South Wales, represented by John Howard.
