The Mark’s Murders can only be understood by knowing how inland Australia was occupied by the squatters.  This was based on terra nullius so no treaties are agreements were needed before the land was occupied by Europeans, known as squatters.  The story of squatting is told through the life of John Browne, who was the son of convicts but became a successful businessman in the Hunter Valley and claimed huge areas of land.
