Walking Together at Myall Creek: Dreaming Beyond 'a Cult of Forgetfulness'

2015, Collins, Julie

Rather than simply reasserting the truth of the many massacres, this article then records an attempt to move beyond such denials/assertion. Recording testimony to the spirit of the land, the site of Myall Creek becomes significant for both memorial and for memory.
