Frontier War Stories

In episode twelve Boe yarns with Associate Professor from the University of Tasmania Kristyn Harman author of Aboriginal Convicts: Australian, Khoisan, and Maori Exiles.

As a result of the frontier wars fought across parts of Australia (and also at other British colonies’ frontiers), Indigenous men ended up being transported as convicts. They served their sentences at places including Van Diemen’s Land, Norfolk Island, and several of the penal islands in Sydney Harbour (Goat Island and Cockatoo Island). Several thousand Aboriginal men and boys also ended up being transported to Rottnest Island off the south-west coast of Western Australia.

In episode Eleven Boe yarns with Mark Dunn, author of The Convict Valley: the bloody struggle on Australia’s early frontier.

Preventing the Punitive Expedition Planned (Massacre) in Arnhem Land in 1933, after the killing of a police officer by Yolngu leader Dhakiyarr Wirrpanda who fatally speared a NT police officer Constable McColl. Now, both the NT Administration and the Department of the Interior in Canberra began to prepare a “punitive expedition” that would ride into Arnhem Land and “teach the natives a lesson”.

Dhakiyarr’s act of resistance inspired an unprecedented movement of support for Aboriginal rights across broad sections of Australian society.
