Gna.na.gna.na, Gnung-a Gnung-a Murremurgan, or Anganángan
Gna.na.gna.na, Gnung-a Gnung-a Murremurgan, or Anganángan was called 'Collins' by the English colonists, after he exchanged names with Judge Advocate David Collins. He married Bennelong's pretty sister, Warreeweer.
While Bennelong was in England during 1793-94, Gnung-a Gnung-a sailed across the Pacific on the storeship HMS Daedalus to Norfolk Island, Nootka Sound (Vancouver) and Hawaii, where King Kamehameha unsuccessfully offered to buy him.
In December 1795 Gnung-a Gnung-a was crippled by a spear in the back, thrown by Pemulwuy. He survived, but was found dead behind the Dry Store (the present Sirius Park, near Bridge Street) in January 1809.
