Cora [note 1] Gooseberry (also known as Queen Gooseberry and Lady Bongary; c. 1777 – 30 July 1852) was an Aboriginal Australian Murro-ore-dial woman and cultural knowledge keeper.
In popular culture, she is often depicted smoking a pipe and wearing a scarf on her head.
[1] She received two breastplates, one of which was inscribed "Cora Gooseberry/ Freeman/ Bungaree / Queen of Sydney and Botany".
[4] Cora Gooseberry was the daughter of Moorooboora (also known as Maroubra; circa 1758 to 1798), clan leader of the Murro-ore-dial (Pathway Place).
She was buried in the Presbyterian section of the Sandhills cemetery, but her tombstone was relocated shortly after.
