Our guy was a very important Australian in the early days.
Got hit in the face which actually helped him later.

Lachlan Macquarie

 

[Ramjet]

Mando has it. Arthur Phillip

 

[DrDuck]

I looked at Phillip, but the sources I saw did not have the detail about press gangs, harpoons and being a sickly child. Good question.

I guess it depends which books ya read not always the same info.
