Place: Dungog
Source: Dungog Chronicle
Details: The Earliest Inhabitants by Gordon Bennett - One statement recorded in the stilted handwriting of Capt. Cook of Auchentorlie, describes how a band of blacks stole a child, the daughter of a Mrs. Easterbrook whose husband was a clerk of the A.A. company at Stroud. They disappeared in a northerly direction but were pursued by a party of armed soldiers and assigned servants and overtaken some twenty miles away. Eleven blacks were killed and the child recovered. Writing his official report on the matter Capt. Cook said - The native blacks are very savage in this locality and it is necessary that we should all carry arms when travelling. In company with the clerk of the peace, Mr. Duncan F. Mackay, I was molested only last week by wild blacks between Dungog and Stroud and discharged my musket at several who threw spears at us.

Details: Extract from Gosford Bench Books - While it is not possible to give the exact number of each tribe of blacks in the district, says a letter of April 16 1827, there are five tribes viz., the Mial or Broken Bay tribe, the Tuggerah Beach tribe, the Wyong tribe, and the Narara and Erina tribes.

Details: Mr. Colin Christie a former Mayor of the city and who has been identified with its movements since 1849 when he settled in Newcastle said that to his own recollections and from what he had learned from the very early settlers the site of the old markets was never a part of the cathedral cemetery.....The site where the Newcastle School of Arts stands (in 1915) was once a blacks camp and it was also the location of Newcastles original pound. Speaking of 1849, Mr. Christie said that the fence was then standing though the place was not in use as a pound. He was aware that blacks had been buried on the spot where the borough Markets were built many years later but he had never heard of it having been used as a burying ground for white people

Details: We reached at length, a water-course called Currungai, and encamped upon its bank, beside the natives from Dart Brook, who had crossed the range before us, apparently to join some of their tribe, who lay at this place extremely ill, being affected with a virulent kind of small-pox. We found the helpless creatures, stretched on their backs, beside the water, under the shade of the wattle or mimosa trees, to avoid the intense heat of the sun. We gave them from our stock some medicine; and the wretched sufferers seemed to place the utmost confidence in its efficacy. I had often indeed occasion to observe, that however obtuse in some things, the aborigines seemed to entertain a sort of superstitious belief, in the virtues of all kinds of physic. I found that this distressed tribe were also strangers in the land, to which they had resorted. Their meekness, as aliens, and their utter ignorance of the country they were in, were very unusual in natives, and excited our sympathy, especially when their demeanour was contrasted with the prouder bearing and intelligence of the native of the plains, who had undertaken to be my guide

Details: Thomas Jones, in government service charged with ill-treating a native black girl. The Rev. Middleton states - I was walking near the beach yesterday and hearing some outcries I looked around and saw the prisoner attempting to force a little black girl into the thicket near him. He had a stick in his hand with which he appeared to be menacing the child. I walked towards them as fast as possible and ordered him to desist and to return to the town; he obeyed my orders in regard to the girl but refused to return to the town, saying he was looking for stray cattle being a government stockman. The Rev. Threlkeld (missionary) states...It has come within my knowledge that the prisoner is in the constant practice of annoying the black natives, they frequently complain of him to me; I have had some difficulty to prevent them from taking personal vengeance on him. The prisoner denies any intention of doing any black native the slightest injury. On his being asked if he is at present a Government Stockman, states, he was so last week but that he now belongs to the miner s gang. Thomas Jones sentenced to six months in the gaol gang
