TFA blurb review[edit]

The Waterloo Bay massacre was a clash between European settlers and Aboriginal Australians on the cliffs of Waterloo Bay near Elliston, South Australia, in late May 1849, during the Australian frontier wars. Prior to the clash, three European settlers and six Aboriginal people were killed. The limited archival records indicate that three Aboriginal people were killed or died of wounds from the clash and five were captured, although accounts of the killing of up to 260 Aboriginal people have circulated since at least 1880. The most recent scholarship indicates that it is likely that it resulted in the deaths of tens or scores of Aboriginal people. In 2017 the District Council of Elliston erected a memorial to acknowledge what occurred. Authors have concluded that the clash has become something of a "narrative battleground" between the documented and imagined history of European settlement and the Aboriginal oral history of the frontier.
