They were evidently bent on mischief of some sort from the number of spears they had made. Mr Uhr brought in between thirty and forty and destroyed about six times that number. They were also well supplied with green-hide, and evident proof that they had been already victimising some unfortunate cattle-owner. Natives from very distant tribes, both southward and westward, were noticed among them.'",-20.137,147.965,1866-07-01,1866-07-31,"<i>Wagga Wagga Express and Murrumbidgee District Advertiser</i>, August 25, 1866, p 4 <a href=""https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/105997860"">https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/105997860</a>.",https://c21ch.newcastle.edu.au/colonialmassacres/detail.php?r=954,"2025-08-09 15:02:58","2025-08-09 15:02:58",td0d92,954,Yuru,QLD,QLD,"Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander People",30,Aboriginal,Colonists,0,"Native Police",*,Bowen,Early,"North East",North,
te159f,2478,"The Leap, Mt Mandurana, North Queensland",Event,"According to historian Clive Moore (1990), in February 1867, settler John Cook at Balnagowan station, on the north side of the Pioneer River, found 'one cow dead from spear wounds and one speared and hamstrung but alive.' He telegraphed for the Native Police who did not arrive until April, led by Acting Sub-Inspector Johnstone, a local man from Lansdown Valley. They patrolled for several days 'along the north side of the [Pioneer] River,...coming across several Aboriginal Camps, one inhabited by upwards of 200 Aborigines' (Moore, 1990, p 65).  On 24 April, the <i>Mackay Mercury and South Kennedy Advertiser</i> (1867, p 2) reported that: 'they were dealt with in the usual and only effectual mode of restraining their savage propensities by the officer and party, so that we may now hope that life and property will be safe for a time on the other side of the river.' Clive Moore (1990, p 68) concluded: 'There seems no doubt that a massacre occurred at [Mt Mandurana] 'The Leap' in 1867 and that the survivor was a female Aborigine, probably about two or three years old...[and that] the woman and probably others from her tribe were forced to jump. There are caves at the top of the mountain that the Aborigines used, presumably for temporary shelters, while out hunting in pre-1862 years, and also as hiding places when under attack post 1862. They may not have expected the Native Police to pursue them to the top of the mountain, then found themselves with no option but to face the troopers' carbines or go over the precipice.' 
It is estimated that at least 50 Aboriginal people were killed during the Native Police patrol.",-21.067,149.024,1867-04-10,1867-04-30,"Moore, 1990, pp 61-79; <i>Mackay Mercury and South Kennedy Advertiser</i>  April 24, 1867, p 2 <a href=""http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article169701076"">http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article169701076</a>.",https://c21ch.newcastle.edu.au/colonialmassacres/detail.php?r=1014,"2025-08-09 15:02:58","2025-08-09 15:02:58",td0e04,1014,,QLD,QLD,"Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander People",50,Aboriginal,Colonists,0,"Native Police",**,Bowen,Early,"North East",North,"South Kennedy Land District"

te15a1,2478,"Long Lagoon, Mt Spencer Station, North Queensland",Event,"After Aboriginal people killed four shepherds on Mt Spencer Station, one the lessees, Henry Stormont Finch-Hatton is alleged by Tim Bottoms (2013, pp 87-89) to have poisoned 100 Aboriginal people at the Long Lagoon outstation. Carl Lumholtz (1889, p 373) mentions Long Lagoon in his memoir. Finch-Hatton's brother Harold gave details of the poisoning in his memoir: 
'One day, when he [Henry Stormont Finch-Hatton?] knew that a large mob of Blacks were watching his movements, he packed a large dray with rations, and set off with it from the head station, as if he was going the rounds of the shepherds' huts. When he got opposite to the Long Lagoon, one of the wheels came off the dray, and down it went with a crash. This appeared to annoy him considerably; but after looking pensively at it for some time, he seemed to conclude that there was nothing to be done, so he unhitched the horses and led them back to the station. No sooner had he disappeared than, of course, all the Blacks came up to the dray to see what was in it. To their great delight it contained a vast supply of flour, beef and sugar. With appetites sharpened by a prolonged abstinence from such delicacies, they lost no time in carrying the rations down to the waterside, and forthwith devoured them as only a Blackfellow can. 
Alas for the greediness of the savage! Alas for the cruelty of the white brother! The rations contained about as much strychnine as anything else, and not one of the mob escaped. When they awoke in the morning they were all dead corpses. More than a hundred Blacks were stretched out by the ruse of the owner of the Long Lagoon. In a dry season, when the water sinks low, their skulls are occasionally to be found half buried in the mud' (Finch-Hatton 1886, pp 132-133).",-21.065,149.025,1880-01-01,1880-12-31,"Finch-Hatton, 1886, pp 132-133; Lumholtz, 1889, p 373; Bottoms, 2013, pp 87-89.",https://c21ch.newcastle.edu.au/colonialmassacres/detail.php?r=977,"2025-08-09 15:02:58","2025-08-09 15:02:58",td0dba,977,,QLD,QLD,"Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander People",100,Aboriginal,Colonists,0,Settler(s),**,Bowen,Late,"North East",North,Sarina
