Convincing Ground Massacre took place on the coast of Victoria. This was one of the largest recorded massacres in Victoria. Whalers and Kilcarer Gunditjmara people were massacred when they argued over land.

In the battle of pinjarra records state that 14 aboriginals were killed but aboriginal accounts put the figure much higher.

The Mayall creek massacre happened in New South Wales in 1938. 28 aboriginal people were killed. This was the first massacre in which Europeans were trialled. They were found guilty and hung.

Another attack occurred in 1838. Aboriginals attacked Europeans searching for new land. 1 aboriginal and 13 Europeans were killed. Later attacks occurred and as a result more then 250 aboriginals ended up dead. According to aboriginals they attacked the Europeans because they were fired at first.
