today. This sort of massacre was all to common in Australia in the <br>
past, but we did not know that Oombulgurri had also been affected. I'm <br>
not even sure that our colleagues who were there in the 70's knew about <br>
it, at least no one ever mentioned it to us.<br>

All the more to everyone's credit for how much people there were able to <br>
