Some of my favourites are those that are not mentioned so often and those are the aboriginals that worked as guide,trackers and hunters/gatherers for food. I am not sure if they were ever brought along incase they came in contact with aborginal tribes.

Agree 100%. :) some amazing characters and in some cases kept those 'europeans' and their animals in check, which saved many of them from dying. the reason many landmarks, watercourses etc are named after their aboriginal guides/ trackers.
