On this day in 1828, 30 Tasmanian Aboriginal people were brutally attacked, shot, and thrown over a 200ft precipice in what is now commemorated as the Cape Grim Massacre. Curr explained to VDLC directors that a "very large" Aboriginal party had initially assembled at the top of a hill that overlooked the shepherds' hut. He gave them muskets which were utilised to shoot at Aboriginal Australians in the area. Furthermore, as the allotments of land were separated by bushland which helped in "concealing the natives", the Governor or… The Governor was warned by one worker in 1827 that Curr's shepherds "had designs of violating the (native) women" and examples were later given to Robinson of female Aboriginals being kept by stock keepers and shepherds, some of them "chained up like a wild beast" and abused. They also described the massacre of 10 February, recounting how VDLC shepherds had taken by "surprise a whole tribe which had come for a supply of muttonbirds at the Doughboys, massacred thirty of them and threw them off a cliff two hundred feet in altitude".On 10 August Robinson encountered convict William Gunchannon, another of the four who had been present at the massacre. "They acknowledge the events of Port Arthur, so why can't they acknowledge Aboriginal history?" Based on his visit to Cape Grim, Windschuttle has disputed much of Robinson's description of events, concluding that the shepherds could not have launched a surprise attack if the Aboriginals had been sitting on the beach at Suicide Bay. In 2017, the centre submitted 11 new names in palawa kani, the revived Tasmanian Aboriginal language, as dual and replacement names for sites around the state, nine of which are in the north-west.But the Tasmanian Government has yet to change any of the names. Sunday marked the date of one of the bloodiest days in Tasmania's history, but the anniversary of the Cape Grim massacre — on which about 30 Aboriginal men were killed — passed unknown to most Tasmanians.On February 10, 1828, during the height of the period known as the Black War (1824–1831), the men were massacred by four Van Diemen's Land (VDL) company shepherds near Cape Grim, in the state's far north-west. He said Robinson's description of Aboriginals seeking shelter "in the cleft of the rock" and then being "forced to the brink of an awful precipice" was equally problematic because of the difficulty for shepherds to force captives up the track while carrying weapons and then – once the Aboriginal people reached the top – the impossibility of preventing their escape over the open grassy land as the shepherds climbed up behind them. Just south of the cliff was a steep path leading down to the beach the Aboriginal women had identified as the site of the massacre. "I think they [the Government] should recognise all the major massacres that happened not just in Tasmania, but Australia-wide during that period of time," she said.CHAC would also like to see some sort of memorial on the site to help educate visitors and encourage reflection.Cape Grim and the surrounding land is still in the hands of VDL, but the farming enterprise was purchased by Chinese company Moon Lake Investments in 2016.The company allows Aboriginal people access to traditional sites, once they acquire the correct permissions. He said the most credible account was Curr's, in which the shepherds felt threatened by the advancing Aboriginal party and marched from their hut to launch a pre-emptive strike. "It wasn't suicide, it was a slaughter, it was a massacre." Those poor creatures who had sought shelter in the cleft of the rock they forced to the brink of the awful precipice, massacred them all and threw their bodies down the precipice.VDLC directors, meanwhile, asked Curr to respond to Goldie's long list of complaints and accusations. "There have been a great many Natives shot by the Company's Servants, and several engagements between them while their stock was in that district. In Curr's account there were about 70 Peerapper in the encampment, but the shepherds watched and waited until dawn before retreating without a shot being fired, because "not a musket would go off" as a result of heavy rain during the night. See Lennox, p. 170.VDL Court despatch to Curr, 28 October 1828, as quoted by McFarlane (p. 94). He said: "If they really were trying to kill them all, they would have done it where they allegedly found them, down near the waterline at the edge of the bay." "The immediate catalyst of the February killings at Cape Grim was an incident about the beginning of December 1827 during a visit to the area by the Peerapper clan from West Point in search of muttonbird eggs and seals. "The attempted extermination of our people was so almost complete that few of those stories have been handed down," she said.The cover-up of the Cape Grim massacre left scars and even shaped the name of the landscape. One group – thought to be all men – were killed near the edge of a 60m cliff and their bodies then thrown to the rocks below.In a dispatch to VDLC directors on 14 January Curr reported the voyage of the Two weeks later, on 28 February, Curr provided the directors with his first, brief reference to the events of 10 February.
