Details: The Awabakal man who stands out in the historical record is Wepohng, better known as Biraban or Magill. He was clearly a superb linguist and a great teacher and is probably largely responsible, through translation, for much of the information Threlkeld collected. He moved freely between Lake Macquarie and Newcastle and was well acquainted with the various routes through the SRA. Born c. 1800 he had spent time in Sydney, where he learnt to speak English fluently. In 1821 he was sent with Captain Francis Allman to set up the new penal settlement at Port Macquarie, where he also acted as bush constable. On his return to Newcastle he married Tipahmahah, by whom he had a son Yerowwa/Francis, born in 1823 (Gunson 1974: 317)
