Description

Layer Warning:

This layer contains historical information about Aboriginal people that may be distressing. It contains names of people who have also passed away.

Jandamarra began a quiet campaign of taunting and harassment of settlers and police. He appeared in their homes, leaving his footprints in scattered flour. He set traps for those hoping for the glory of capturing him. While they thought they were stalking him he was at their base stealing their weapons.  Those who chased his footprints found themselves caught by wires across the path. Among the local Aboriginal population Jandamarra began to take on the status of Jalnggangurra (magic man). Black troopers and trackers who had been brought in from Queensland were particularly unnerved by him and would leave lead them away from where he was hiding. Jandamarra and a party held siege of the Lillimooloora homestead.
