wikipedia - 10 Jun 2021The Myall Creek massacre was the killing of at least twenty-eight unarmed Indigenous Australians by twelve colonists on 10 June 1838 at the Myall Creek near the Gwydir River, in northern New South Wales.[1][2] After two trials, seven of the twelve colonists were found guilty of murder and hanged.[2] One—the leader and free settler John Fleming—evaded arrest and was never tried. Four were never retried following the not guilty verdict of the first trial.[1]
