George Clarke (1823-1913), Congregational minister and educationist, was born on 29 June 1823 at Parramatta, son of George Clarke of Wymondham, Norfolk, England, and his wife Martha, ne Blomfield. His father, a gunsmith turned missionary teacher, was assigned to New Zealand by the Church Missionary Society in 1822, arrived at Hobart Town with his wife in the Heroine in September, and went on to Sydney.
Not got a nickname yet.

Lay missionary George Clarke (1798-1875) urged British annexation for the protection of Maori. In May 1840, as one fluent in the Maori language and a successful farmer at Waimate, he reluctantly accepted the post of 'Chief Protector of Aborigines', heading a small department of sub-protectors, including his two sons. Their role was to look after Maori interests and to assure Maori that their customs would not be infringed 'except in cases that are opposed to the principles of humanity'. But the Governor also expected the protectors to negotiate sales of Maori land.

George the Barber Clarke
Plaque commemorates bushranger. George `The Barber` Clarke, a convict escapee assigned to Benjamin Singleton, fled to the area in 1826, living with the Kamilaroi peoples, who it seems may have regarded him as one of their own returned from the dead. He acquired two Aboriginal wives, underwent body initiation rites and generally adopted the language, dress and customs of the group. Clarke lived a little to the north-east of the present townsite, building a bark hut by the Namoi which Allan Cunningham encountered during a voyage of exploration in 1827. Large stocks of cattle were taken to the Liverpool Plains for pasturage from 1827 and Clarke turned to cattle rustling, establishing some stockyards. When times were hard he surrendered to Singleton, but again fled with the Aborigines while leading Singleton on an expedition into the new country. He then returned to bushranging, was captured in 1831, escaped, was recaptured, escaped again and was finally recaptured, after which he was marched 210 km to Sydney and transported to Norfolk Island. He was hung in Tasmania for further offences in 1835.

When was Mount Kosciuszko named ?
Mount Kosciuszko was first climbed in March 1840 by the remarkable explorer and scientist Sir Paul Edmund de Strzelecki who had arrived in Sydney only a few months earlier. Upon his arrival Strzelecki announced his intention to carry out a geological survey of the whole of New South Wales. He started in December, 1839 and by March 1840 he had reached the Alps where he ascended the country's highest peak, naming it after the Polish patriot and democratic leader Tadeusz Kosciuszko (although most Australians pronounce the park's name as 'koz-ee-oss-ko,' it really should be pronounced 'koz-chooz-ko' and, more recently, there have been attempts to promote the proper pronunciation). It has been suggested that Strzelecki named the peak Kosciuszko because its rounded shape reminded him of Kosciuszko's tomb.
