The colonisation of Australia is at the heart of calls for a national truth-telling process. This map tells the stories that have long been kept out of our history books. It shows evidence of mass killings from 1788 until 1928: a sustained and systematic process of conflict and expansion.
So what do we need to know about our past, so we can start the process? This site is a collection of as much accurate information about our frontier history as we can provide at this time.
What happened in your suburb, town or district? Search by location, postcode or time to find out.
The mapping of our turbulent history is happening in many forms across the country, through painstaking research by historians, archaeologists, artists and descendants on all sides. The process is ongoing, and this data is incomplete. In particular, more sites in Western Australia are expected to be added. We will update this site as more information comes to light.
