Multuggerah

Multuggerah (c. 1810 – 1846) was an Aboriginal Australian leader and resistance fighter of the Ugarapul nation from the Lockyer Valley in Queensland. He was an important warrior and negotiator, bringing numerous Aboriginal clans together in an armed resistance against the 99th (Lanarkshire) Regiment of Foot, squatters and the squatters' servants and other workers in the 1840s.

Multuggerah was the son of Old Moppy a warrior and leader who had led earlier raids against the early settlers in the Moreton Bay and Brisbane regions.

Resistance From 1841 over the course of decades, 1200 Aboriginal warriors in the Colony of New South Wales in the Lockyer Valley area (which became part of the Colony of Queensland from 1859), were opposed by, amongst others, the 99th (Lanarkshire) Regiment of Foot. Intermittent conflict continued on into the 1850s and 1860s. Multeggerah's tactics included road blocks made from felled trees, and setting an ambush site on a steep hill and in amongst bogs and heavy scrub. Multeggerah was said by some to have lived to old age; but possibly died in 1846

In September 1843 an armed convoy of three drays with a crew of 18 was stopped and turned back. He is known to have had at least two children, a son and a daughter known as Queen Kitty.
