Henry Wildman (born 1838 date of death unknown was a Convict transported to Western Australia in 1862 whose apparently false claims to have found On arrival in the area, Wildman became sullen and uncooperative, and tried to escape. No gold was found, but large areas of good pastoral land were discovered around Roebuck Bay. Consequently, a public company, the Roebuck Bay Company, was formed to establish a chain of stations in the area, and Panter joined the advance party that sailed to the area to set up a base camp.
