S3-E10 - The Mark's Murders - The Aftermath
Update: 2020-03-21
Description
After the murders by James Mark and the subsequent actions by the Native Police, the Bigambul people were never the same. Many of the warrior men had been killed and they were excluded from their traditional water sources and hunting grounds. Hunger and disease killed many. On the other hand, Jonathan and Margaret Young prospered. After a few more years on the McIntyre, they sold Umbercollie and lived the remainder of their lives in comfort in the Hunter. John Watts went from stockman to politician. He used the murder of Mark’s son partly as justification of the continuation of the Native Police in Queensland.
