S3-E09-The Mark's Murders - Law and Order - Take 2
About this episode
Commissioner Bligh was unable to achieve law and order on the McIntyre. Partly at the instigation of Augustus Morris on Callandoon Station, the Native Police was formed under the command of Frederick Walker (a friend of Morris). The Native Police were Aboriginal men under the command of European officers. Walker aggressively pursued “ring leaders” and “trouble makers” amongst the Bigambul. Peace was achieved on the McIntyre but at the cost of many Aboriginal lives.
