<P> The Myall Creek massacre near Gwydir River, in the central New South Wales district of Namoi, involved the killing of up to 30 unarmed indigenous Australians by ten Europeans and one African on 10 June 1838 at the Myall Creek near Bingara, Murchison County, in northern New South Wales . After two trials, seven of the 11 colonists involved in the killings were found guilty of murder and hanged . </P> <P> A group of eleven stockmen, consisting of assigned convicts and former convicts, led by one, John Henry Fleming, who was from Mungie Bundie Run near Moree, arrived at Henry Dangar's Myall Creek station in New England on 9 June 1838 . They rode up to the station huts beside which were camped a group of approximately thirty - five Aboriginal people . They were part of the Wirrayaraay (alternative spelling: Weraerai) group who belonged to the Kamilaroi people . They had been camped at the station for a few weeks after being invited by one of the convict stockmen, Charles Kilmeister (or Kilminister), to come to their station for their safety and protection from the gangs of marauding stockmen who were roaming the district slaughtering any Aboriginal people they could find . These Aboriginal people had previously been camped peacefully at McIntyre's station for a few months . They were therefore well known to the whites . Most of them had been given European names such as Daddy, King Sandy, Joey, Martha and Charley . Some of the children spoke a certain amount of English . When the stockmen rode into their camp they fled into the convict's hut pleading for protection . </P>
