Description

The Faithfull massacre in which 8 colonists and 1 Aboriginal person were killed, and squatters and Governor Gipps response to it, were the main trigger for the most intense decade of violence in the Australian wars, the 1840s, through the full extent of the colony in the south east of the continent. These events established the way the wars were waged thereafter, with 'Military Mounted Police' and the Native Police, used as proxies for military units, in collaboration with small groups of squatters, their workers and other colonists, usually beyond the 'limits of location' (the region beyond which the British colonial government did not administer or enforce land ownership nor guarantee protection) fighting a guerilla style resistance of Aboriginal people.
