The Killing Times: A Massacre Map (Australia)

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.

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.
