Revision as of 08:33, 8 February 2006 by CJLL Wright (talk | contribs) (+{{IndigenousAustralia-stub}})(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Waterloo Creek massacre occurred January 1838 at Snodgrass Lagoon on Waterloo Creek and may be the largest mass murder in Australian history, some claiming 100-300 Australian Aborigine women and children were slaughtered.
The nature of the massacre and the number of people killed at Waterloo Creek is subject to dispute, as are many accounts subject to the History Wars.
In contrast, the Myall Creek massacre was the only one, of many of its type in Australia, for which anyone was ever punished.
