The Battle of Broken River, also known as the Faithfull Massacre,[1] is a battle that took place in 1838 when 20 aboriginal Australians attacked 18 European settlers, killing seven to eleven of them. [2] The site of the massacre was discovered in 1907.[3][4]
Local reprisals went for a number of years, resulting in an estimated over a hundred aboriginal deaths.[5][6]
