Raids on stock

Date: 1 Jul 1824 – 31 Jul 1824
Place: Bathurst region
In early August the Gazette noted further stock losses 'Further intelligence from the Bathurst country furnishes a most distressing aspect from the continued atrocities of the black natives … Owing to those recent atrocities, the immense stock upon the other side of the mountains, is becoming scattered over the whole country: the shepherds and stock-keepers have necessarily abandoned their charge to the rapacity of the natives'.
