Mount Dispersion, New South Wales
Mount Dispersion, in south-western New South Wales, is the location of the massacre of Aboriginal Australians by Major Thomas Mitchell on 27 May 1836. Officially recognised as an Aboriginal place under the ''National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974'' in May 2020, the official name is the Mount Dispersion Massacre Site Aboriginal Place. History In May 1836 Mitchell and his surveying party had been followed for several days by a group of Aboriginal people, starting from Lake Benanee, near the present-day town of Euston.

The Australian (1824 Newspaper)
''The Australian'' (Sydney, NSW, 1824–1848) was an English language newspaper published in Sydney, Australia. It first appeared in 1824 and was the second newspaper to be printed on mainland Australia after '' The Sydney Gazette'' (1803). The latter was a semi-official publication containing proclamations, regulations and it was censored by the government. ''The Australian'' was the first independent newspaper. Governor Brisbane realised there was little point in continuing to censor ''The Sydney Gazette'' when ''The Australian'' was uncensored and so government censorship of newspapers was abandoned in 1824 and the freedom of the press began in Australia. History The early years The first issue of ''The Australian'' appeared on Thursday, 14 October 1824. The owners of the newspaper were two lawyers, Robert Wardell and William Charles Wentworth. They had a printing press and other necessary materials with them on the ''Alfred'' which arrived at Sydney from Britain in Ju ...
