| Narrative | Following the Bandjuling killing of 5 white men at Pelican Creek, a posse of 11 stockmen attacked a camp at Evans River and drove the Aboriginal people towards Goanna Headland where 2 schooners were sheltering from the southerly gale. The sailors on board joined in the shooting. Men, women and children were killed. Only 2 children survived. |
