In April [[1824-1853 Events|1838]] the Faithfull's aboriginal massacre occurred.

see area of Chisholm St [[Benalla|Benalla]].

The site was close to the city of Benalla on the rich swamp land. Briefly the massacre was a result of loss of land by the aboriginals that was followed by punitive raids from the squatters. It occurred a few days after George and William [[Faithfull's Creek (2)|Faithfull's]] overseer arrived in the area. The Aborigines had had their lands taken and they were being pressured for hunting grounds. They fought back and only 2 out of the 8 white men survived. The Aborigines also took a dray and a lot of other supplies.

See an account in the Sydney Morning Herald of 21/5/1838 ([[The Argus at KellyGang 13/9/1883 (2)|Argus13/9/83]])
