Biography

Tharunka's egg was sent to Sydney (along with those of Caesar and Kulingile) to kick-start the dragon population of New South Wales. However, her egg was stolen by several tribes of natives, who needed her to assist in trading with the Chinese. She was able to learn the languages of the various tribes (Larrakia, Wiradjuri, Pitjantjatjara) in addition to English and Chinese.

She was conscious of the fact that she was a British dragon, but decided not to take an aviator from the Corps. She was content to remain with the Larrakia and help them with trade. She fought on their side when their harbor was attacked by HMS Nereide.
