[Oe List ...] Massacre at Oombulgurri

[the telfords]

Yes all those of us who lived and worked with the Oombulgurri community in
the 1970's knew of the massacre
 and could take you to the site which was not above the river but on a
ridge called the 'jump up', overlooking the community
where we understand some were pushed over to their deaths.

As you say, very sad and hard to come to terms with.
