Description

"...we arrived at Colonel White's station on the left bank of the River Ovens on the 22nd ultimo, but finding that that gentlemen and other settlers had abandoned their stations I left that country, and having previously been informed that Mr Faithfull's party had gone on to Port Phillip, we would not hope to obtain any information there and accordingly proceeded direct to the Broken River or Winding Swamp (where outrages had been committed), where we remained two days in search of the tribe who frequent that place, but not having succeeded in falling in with it we returned to the Murray River." p332 George Stewart to Col. Sec., 20 June 1838 'Police Magistrate Stewart's final report on the massacre' in Cannon, Michael (ed.)
