Colonial Frontier Conflicts–Timeline
The Timeline below lists some known dates on which, and locations where, conflicts–from individual injuries and killings to large massacres and wars– occurred between colonists and First Peoples. The Timeline begins before the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 because there were earlier encounters between European explorers and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that led to violence, even death. More dates and locations of conflicts will be added as information comes to hand and time permits. Also as time permits, tables including more details about each conflict, where known, will be added to the website. (A massive task under way).

TG Moyle, The Wills Tragedy, 1861. The arrival of the Neighbouring Squatters & Men collecting and burying the Dead &c. After the Attack by the Blacks on H.S. Wills Esq’s Station Leichhardt District. Queensland, October 19th 1861, painting, watercolour, 47 x 74 cm. In the collection of the State Library of Queensland. This painting depicts the aftermath of the 1861 Cullinguringa (Cullin-La-Ringo) massacre near Springsure, Queensland in which Aboriginal people killed 19 colonists–the deadliest recorded attack against Europeans in the colonial frontier period.

1880		Horse (Horso) Creek, Kimberley region, WA The introduction of cattle and other European animals onto Aboriginal country caused much damage to traditional sites and waterholes, also upsetting the ecological balance. As in other colonies, as Europeans expanded their pastoral and mining interests in Western Australia, traditional food and water resources were disturbed, if not destroyed. In attempts to protect their country, Aboriginal people often had to hunt cattle from their lands, also resorting to killing them for food when traditional game was scarce or disappeared. At Horso (Horse) Creek about 1880 Europeans shoot a group of Gija people for driving off bullocks. To hide the evidence of the murders, the Gija people's bodies are burnt. Later the mother of a boy, who escapes the killings, finds him hiding in the carcass of a bullock.
