message: Hello, 
For Australians, historically and otherwise.Truganini is the correct pronunciation of her name.For a viewpoint from a novelists perspective who researched this story meticuously.Try "The Savage Crows" by Robert Drewe.
"Friendly mission:The Tasmanian Journals and papers of George Augustus Robinson 1829-1834, edited by N.J.B. Plomley.
Truganini is the way to go, I lived over there for quite a while and that is what has gone into the lexicon.
----
I agree - I have never heard of "Trugernanna" before - Truganini is the pronounciation and spelling that I have always seen - again, a life-long Tasmanian resident.  I will correct all the 'Trugernanna' sitings that I see.  A google search seems to agree with me - 3000+ hits for Truganini, 100 for Truganinni, 14 for Trugernanna.  --Chuq 23:43, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)

As far as I'm aware, Woorrady is a fictional character. I hope the rest of this article is sourced a bit better...  --118.209.200.29 (talk) 13:21, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: When Robertson visited Bruny island in 1829 there were 19 Aborigines living there. One was Truganini and the groups elder was Woorrady. Robertson introduced a European diet and regular church services in order to westernize them but they started to become ill as the European diet had far less protein than their regular diet. It was Indigenous custom to abandon a location when there was an outbreak of illness so they  abandoned the island which was when Robertson decided to collect all the remaining Aborigines and relocate them in a single settlement away from Europeans. He travelled with the Bruny Aboriginals as guides and used Truganini as a go between when he met other groups. Truganini and Woorrady stayed with Robertson until he settled the Aborigines on Vansittart Island in March 1831, not 1830 or Flinders island as the article states and it was 51, not 100. In late 1831, the Aborigines were moved to Flinders Island (The Lagoons) as Vansittart was too small but this settlement was unsuitable and in October 1832 the settlement was moved to Pea Jacket Point which was renamed Civilisation Point (Wybalenna in the Indigenous language). Robertson visited Flinders Island for the first time in October 1835 and he stayed there until 1839. In 1835, Robertson renamed the aborigines, Truganini was renamed Lallah Rookh (an Indigenous name meaning 'last of her clan') and Woorady was renamed Count Alpha ("Count" because he was the 'chief' and "Alpha" because he was the first aboriginal Robertson had met).
