A compendium of the Frontier Wars in Wide Bay, Burnett, Dawson and Leichhardt Districts 1840 – 1866 An account of just twenty-six years of the conflicts for the control of grazing lands and water resources. The defenders were full-time warriors, trained to a warrior’s code and the newcomers were the end of the emigrant generation and the beginning of the colonial-born generation. The Colonial Government introduced the Native Police into this conflict with small mobile, heavily armed patrols of a white officer and usually from four to six semi-trained killers out in the bush looking for mayhem and carnage. They became central to everything good or evil that happened on this frontier and help break the power of the clans for the sake of the Colony’s coffers.

Draws together most of the information about the massacres of the Aboriginal people which has been recorded in books and journals. It also creates a level of awareness of the scale of the massacres, so that this dimension of Australian history can become part of the Australian consciousness.
