Myall Creek Massacre and Memorial Site, Memorial site near Bingara, Australia

Myall Creek Massacre and Memorial Site is a memorial near Bingara in New South Wales, marking the place where a mass killing of Aboriginal people took place in 1838. A walking path connects stone plaques and information panels that guide visitors through the story of what happened and why it matters.

In 1838, a group of settlers killed twenty-eight Aboriginal men, women, and children at this creek. The trial that followed ended with convictions and executions, making it the first time in Australian history that colonists were held legally accountable for killing Aboriginal people.

Each year, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people gather here for a shared ceremony of remembrance. For many visitors, standing in this space means joining a process of acknowledgment that both communities have chosen to carry forward together.

The site is reached from Bingara Delungra Road, where parking is available at the start of the walking path. The path itself is short and manageable for most visitors, though sturdy footwear is a good idea as the ground can be uneven in places.

The memorial was unveiled in 2000, and the site was added to the Australian National Heritage List on 7 June 2008 and to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 12 November 2010. The 1838 court case that followed the killings was the first and last time settlers were found guilty of and hanged for killing Aboriginal people on the frontier.
