PEMULWUY was born around 1750 in Botany Bay and is noted for his leadership in uniting many clans for resistance from Botany Bay to the Blue Mountains and would have used the Cooks River to navigate the region. There are stories about Pemulwuy escaping incarceration by transforming into a crow and flying through the bars, leaving a trail of crow feathers behind.
