Pemulwuy captured }}{{Campaignbox Hawkesbury and Nepean Wars}} The Battle of Parramatta was a battle of the Australian Frontier Wars which occurred in Sydney on March 1797.[2] In the conflict, Aboriginal resistance leader Pemulwuy led a group of Bidjigal warriors, estimated to be at least 100, in an attack on a government farm at Toongabbie, challenging the garrison of redcoats to battle.[3] ConflictThe settlers and soldiers took up their muskets and chased the Aboriginal warriors through the night. At dawn, they encountered about 100 Aborigines just outside Parramatta, who ran away. The settlers entered Parramatta and, one hour later, according to David Collins, "were followed by a large body of natives, headed by Pe-mul-wy, a riotous and troublesome savage". When confronted, Pemulwuy threw a spear at a soldier prompting the government troops and settlers to open fire. Pemulwuy was shot seven times and was wounded. The aboriginal warriors threw many spears, hitting one man in the arm. The difference in firepower was evident and five aboriginal warriors were killed instantly.[4] OutcomeThe Bidjigal suffered great losses and were forced to retreat. To show compassion and appreciation, the soldiers took Pemulwuy to the hospital at Parramatta. He went in and out of consciousness for days and his death was thought to be indisputable. Against all odds, Pemulwuy recovered and he escaped a few weeks later with his legcuffs still in place.[5][6] See also
