NSW - Myall Creek - Remembering the Myall Creek Massacre
From Nola Taylor

Every year people come to MYALL CREEK around June 10th to remember the massacre. As I came to live in this region only this year I decided I must make that pilgrimage to acknowledge the original people of this country where, some 5 generations ago, my great-great grandmother and her children came as migrant labour.

This true walkabout is a track which meanders through markers on which you can read the story of an event made famous by the fact that, for the first time,white men were tried and executed for the murder of Aboriginies.

In 1838 the region was expanding up from the Hunter and my ancestors were yet to arrive but I feel the life I enjoy in this wonderful country was paid for in blood, and I need to go back each year as a pilgrimage and walk the walk, white and black Australians together, in peace and rememberance.
