The author of Baal Belbora sent his son, whom I knew in 1959, to The Kings School , Sydney, who wore army uniform.

nnn,

"Probably no-one suggests they rode horses over the granite which is risky at the best of times. But 4 men on foot with...."
But that is exactly what is said to have been done in some versions of the story; that the horsemen forced them to jump by crowding them with the horses.
If you've ever been on the top then you would know that it is impossible to get near the edge on horseback as the slope is far from being a safe place, even on foot (particularly with hard boots on).

OK people say that. However Irby gives an account about vengeance for murder by an Aboriginal. It happened.
It's not the point of the ABC doco except as a setting for the use of a sword. It's not my point which is about bashing a pig skull.

nicknamenick, "You are putting words in my mouth"

I was comparing the denial of the events.
For the record , there was no general government policy to kill Aboriginals.
But there is multiple official , newspaper and diary recording of killings of Aboriginals. If you want to deny it , OK. But ordering me not to say it and your personal abuse explains the nature of your attitude.
