In 1865, following the killing of Ardoch station owner John Dowling, his brother Vincent led a posse of settlers and set out in revenge. Historian Hazel McKellar says the posse was led by the native police and that 300 Kullila people were killed. The captions for these photographs are based on the massacre map project led by Professor Lyndall Ryan at the University of Newcastle. https://c21ch.newcastle.edu.au/colonialmassacres/map.php
