Pyemmairreneri

The Pyemmairreneri are the Pyemmairrener nation of Tasmania's north-eastern corner, in the country behind Cape Portland, which they called Tebrakunna, from the Ringarooma coast and the Pipers River to the Ben Lomond plateau. Clans including the coastal Trawlwoolway and highland Plangermaireener spoke the Northeastern Tasmanian tongue recorded as Pyemmairre.

They wintered near the coast and summered on the plateau, hunting kangaroos, taking seals and muttonbirds and gathering eggs. In 1804 Colonel William Paterson planted the first northern settlement at Port Dalrymple, opening the Tamar valley to seizure.

During the Black War the Trawlwoolway chief Mannalargenna led guerrilla raids, and in 1829 freed four women and a boy held for a year in John Batman's house. He later guided George Robinson's missions, but the promise that he would never be exiled was broken, and he died at Wybalenna on Flinders Island in 1835.
