Description

Layer Warning:

Colonial violence.

Extremely arid country NW of Coniston used to evade Murray's 1st massacre expedition, where it's not possible to survive without knowing the location of the few soaks. Murray also mentioned the difficulty of pursing people in the ranges to the north west, but there don't seem to be any ranges out here. Perhaps that was the ones west of Yuendumu? Though it seems pretty clear he was going up towards Tanami, where it was supposed that Aboriginal warriors were attacking from.
