Distinguished and Famous people from Cootamundra Gundagai

🌟 Yarri and Jackey

Wiradjuri men Yarri and Jackey risked their lives rescuing people during the catastrophic Gundagai flood of 1852. Working through dangerous water over several days, they used a canoe and a boat to bring stranded residents to safety. Their repeated journeys saved many people when the settlement was overwhelmed. They were among Aboriginal rescuers whose skill and local knowledge proved crucial during the disaster. A sculpture unveiled in Gundagai in 2017 commemorates their courage, giving enduring public recognition to a story long embedded in the town’s memory.
