sentences:  More land allocations along the southern bank of the river were made; however, settlement seemed to be limited to no further south that the Murray River grants, partly because of continuing and increasing conflicts with local aborigines.These conflicts culminated in the infamous Battle of Pinjarra in October 1834 where up to 40 Noongar people of the local Pindjarup tribal group were killed by white settlers.The battle had followed a raid in Perth by members of the Murray River tribe.
