Description
The central station of the Goulburn River Aboriginal Protectorate District at what is now Murchison, operated from 1840 until 1853, a significant post-contact Aboriginal site on the Goulburn River. It was the focus of interaction between Aboriginal communities, particularly the Daungwurrung, Ngurai-illam wurrung, and Yorta Yorta peoples, government officials and settlers during the early years of contact in the Port Phillip District. The site continued to hold significance to Aboriginal people after the 1850s, linking pre- and post-contact histories and geographies.
Through a meticulous analysis of official correspondence and other protectorate records, private journals, and reminiscence, this study reveals that the Murchison locality is one of the most important historic Aboriginal places in regional Victoria.
