What were the the colonists involved in the Myall Creek Massacre?
The Myall Creek massacre was one of Australia's more shameful events in history. On 10 June 1838, a group of armed stockmen rounded up 40 - 50 Aboriginal women, children and elderly men at Myall Creek Station, near Bingara in gold-bearing country of northern New South Wales. 28 Aborigines were murdered.The massacre was thought to be payback for the killing of several colonists in the area. However, most of those massacred were women and children.The first trial was held on 15 November 1838, and twelve white settlers were charged with murder, but acquitted. A second trial was held on November 26, and this time the twelve men were charged with the murder of just one Aboriginal child. They were found guilty, and seven of the men were hanged in December under the authority of Governor George Gipps.At the time, the colonists were angry at the retribution the government handed to the settlers, and there was a huge backlash against Governor Gipps. General opinion of that time was that the Aborigines were pests who should be exterminated.On 10 June 2000, a memorial was dedicated to the victims of the massacre. An annual memorial service has been held on 10th June at the site ever since.
