| Narrative | Charola and Meakins (2016, p 69) noted that:
"Deaths of women continued at least into the early twentieth century. Hobbles Danayarri of Yarralin reported to Rose that in the 1920s a group of women who lived near Daguragu refused to submit to gang rape and were shot."
As the date is unclear, the date of 1923 provided here is a rough estimate based on other massacres in the area. |
