| Narrative | Two stockmen were killed by Wiradjuri men on Thologolong station. Settler reprisals resulted in the Dora Dora massacre of at least 12 Wiradjuri men, women and children. ‘the attack was led by John Jobbins, owner of adjoining Cumberoona station, a man who quickly gained a reputation for his extreme violence. Cumberoona’s lands were principal camping grounds for Wiradjuri peoples, ‘but Jobbins declared that the land was his, exclusively, and that harsh punishment would be administered to those that did not comply.’ Jobbins led the attack with an unknown number of armed men on horseback. |
