- Summary:
-
Queensland's Frontier Wars is an attempt to document the known confrontations between either white settlers or white and native police and First Nations people where deaths were reported. It is now an accepted premise that these confrontations were wars to gain access to the land, because, if not wars, then it was mass murder. No one in Queensland was charged with the murder of First Nations during these confrontations. The book shows the invasion from New South Wales into southern Queensland and the advances from the sea in central and north Queensland. The 'dispersement' of the First Nations people from their land was violent and efficient using far superior weaponary. This book adds significantly to the true and uncomfortable history of Queensland.
