We appreciate that Jennifer Debenham from the University of Newcastle braved the elements to be the guest speaker at our meeting last Saturday. Unfortunately due to conditions that kept our members away Jennifer only faced a small live audience that was boosted by those who joined us on Zoom.

Jennifer, a Research Assistant on The Colonial Frontier Massacres in Australia, 1788-1930 Project, reported on her research and the history of the project that was lead by by Prof. Lyndall Ryan at the University of Newcastle in consultation with The Wollotuka Institute and AIATSIS.
Jennifer demonstrated how to investiagte the map and database that was the result of the team's work. Navigation of the site is easy and intuitive. Jennifer was most generous in responding to the many questions posed by our attendees.
All Australians should examine the map and database site to learn about this dark period in our history.
