    Talking History – Musquito: The Real Story of a Legendary Colonial Warrior
    Oct 16 2026

    Who was Musquito, the Aboriginal warrior feared by colonists in Sydney and Tasmania?

    Historian Naomi Parry Duncan's new book takes us behind the myths for a better understanding of this remarkable man.

    But Musquito: The Real Story of a Legendary Colonial Warrior is much more than a biography – it also tells the entwined stories of Naomi's own colonial ancestors.
