He established the friendly relations with William Suttor, whose father George crossed the Blue Mountains in 1822 and took up land that he named "Brucedale".

William Suttor learnt the local Wiradjuri dialect, and speaking with Windradyne he was able to defuse the situation at Brucedale homestead.

He was dark brown in colour, with thick black curly hair held back by a head band.

A party of Redcoats was despatched by Major James Morisset to bring in as many prisoners as possible to "teach these blacks a lesson".
