Myall Massacre Memorial

Just out of Bingara you will find the Myall creek Massacre memorial site. It tells the story of the horrendous murder of local Aborigines by white landowners. It is quite moving to us as Wayne has aboriginal ancestry and these people may have been his descendants. There is a book you can purchase at the Bingara Info Centre which gives the history and there is also a booked called Denny Day which tells the account of the Police Magistrate who was responsible for bringing the murders to justice. It was the first time in Australian history that white men were tried (and some were hung) or the murder of Aboriginal people.もっと詳しく
