He said: "If they really were trying to kill them all, they would have done it where they allegedly found them, down near the waterline at the edge of the bay." American academics Lawrence Keeley and The following list tallies some of the better documented massacres of [The] Kaititja in 1874 did only what Europeans living in occupied countries were to do during the 1939–45 war to enemy officials ... guerilla fighters and patriotic individuals made their attacks upon the intruders wherever and whenever opportunities arose.Bain Attwood, pp7-9 My Country. This list of massacres of Indigenous Australians details groups of Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander people who were killed following the colonisation of Australia by the British Empire, in 1788. McFarlane said surveyors' charts placed the shepherds' hut about a kilometre to the northeast of Victory Hill, which allowed the company easy access from the sea via Davisons Bay.McFarlane has postulated that the two contradictory witness accounts of events – Chamberlain's admission of men's bodies being thrown from the cliff and the Aboriginal women's account of the whole tribe, including women and children, being attacked on the beach – were two elements of the one story: the convicts attacked and shot a small group of men who were hunting wallaby on the heights and then fired down on to the women, children and elderly who were close to the sea harvesting seafood. Cape Grim sits in isolation in Tasmania's far north-west corner, home to a couple of windfarms, an air pollution control centre operated by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, and a dairy farm operated by The original Van Diemen’s Land Company (VDL) was established in 1825 under Royal Charter; King George IV granted 143,500 hectares of land to VDL, and 16,800ha still remains under Royal Charter to this day.Apart from being recognised as one of Australia's earliest established companies, It has also been suggested that VDL were a key contributor to the attempted genocide of Aboriginal people in Tasmania that occurred during the early 1800s. Some related the details of the spearing of Thomas John, the subsequent shooting of an Aboriginal chief and the return of tribe members a few days later to drive sheep off the cliff. His reply, on 7 October 1830, included a more comprehensive report on the events of 10 February 1828. Weeks later, a punitive expedition was undertaken by a number of shepherds and 12 men were killed in a sneak attack made under the cover of night. In 1830 it was estimated there were only 60 Aboriginal people of the north-west tribe where just 3 years previously the numbers had been estimated at over 500.Today, there is an MOU between the VDL and the Aboriginal Heritage Council (AHC) that allows for local community groups to access this and other significant sites in the area. Those poor creatures who had sought shelter in the cleft of the rock they forced to the brink of the awful precipice, massacred them all and threw their bodies down the precipice.VDLC directors, meanwhile, asked Curr to respond to Goldie's long list of complaints and accusations.

He said Robinson's description of Aboriginals seeking shelter "in the cleft of the rock" and then being "forced to the brink of an awful precipice" was equally problematic because of the difficulty for shepherds to force captives up the track while carrying weapons and then – once the Aboriginal people reached the top – the impossibility of preventing their escape over the open grassy land as the shepherds climbed up behind them. Also included in the list are inter-tribal Aboriginal massacres which have been recorded since 1788.

They pulled all the people and put them on top of the wood, put kerosene on it and lit the fire.

Just south of the cliff was a steep path leading down to the beach the Aboriginal women had identified as the site of the massacre. [Colonists] shot them like birds and they fell down like birds.
