Australian explorer Sir Thomas Mitchell showed two sides in his attitude to the Aborigines. On one hand, he did not stop his men from opening fire on the Aboriginal tribes if they were in his way. One such example was during his 1835 expedition along the Darling, when his men opened fire after an altercation over a tea kettle, in which the Aborigines expressed interest. Mitchell's men killed at least 2 Aborigines, and one of them was a woman with her baby strapped to her back.
Then there was the instance of his ambush at Mount Dispersion. This was a bitter battle, which occurred when a large group of aborigines followed his party, shouting war cries. Mitchell staged an ambush which succeeded in turning the Aborigines around. However, the men continued to shoot as the retreating tribe swam in the opposite direction across the Murray River, or as they reached the other side from Mitchell's party. Seven Aboriginal men were killed that day.
On the other hand, Mitchell actually adopted an aboriginal girl into his own family. He showed great respect for the Aborigines, praising their skill, intelligence and bushcraft, and he was deeply regretful that their way of life was doomed by the encroaching settlements of white men.
