 Aboriginal descendants claim the figure of 14 is an underestimate, and that many more were slaughtered.The bodies of Conibigal and Dunell, after being decapitated, were hung from trees near Broughton's property, as a warning to foraging natives.Their skulls, together with that of another beheaded woman, were exchanged for 30 shillings and a gallon of rum each in Sydney, according to the recollections of William Byrne in 1903, and were sent to England where they were lodged for study at Edinburgh University, and were only returned recently, in 1991 and 2000, and negotiations have been underway for over a decade to have the remains, in Canberra, buried.
