History
[edit]TheGulf Country's Aboriginal peoples were severely affected by the rapid seizure and occupation of their lands by the great pastoral boom of the 1880s.One station at Lawn Hillin Injilarija territory was run by theMelbourne Grammar-educatedJack Watson,whose home had a trophy room with 40 pairs of Aboriginal people's ears nailed to the walls, which he would show proudly to visitors.[2][3][4][5]
The traditional lands of the Injilarija are today partially covered by theBoodjamulla National Park(which includes the Lawn Hill region) in theShire of Burke.They were taken over byright of successionby theWaanyipeople, after the Injilariya were deemed to be extinct,[6][7]around 1880.[8]
