| Narrative | Journalist A. Norton was in Brewarrina soon after the visit of the steamer Gemini in 1859, and noted 'the native police had been there before my visit, and it was common rumour that the blacks had been shot down without mercy through the district' (Norton cited in Dargin, 1976, p 55). |
