| Narrative | According to Indigenous historian, Callum Clayton-Dixon, 'Following the killing of several colonists in the Bald Hills area', of the New England Tableland in August 1852, a group of Aboriginal people were chased to the edge of a sheer bluff south of Ebor and were either shot or pushed over the edge' of Darkie Point, 'probably both. Constable Michael Clogher and Major Edward Parke were two of the main perpetrators.' (Clayton-Dixon 2019, p.138) |
