Coniston massacre
The board sat for 18 days in January 1929 to consider three incidents (Brooks, Morton and Tilmouth) that resulted in the deaths of Aboriginal people, and in one more day, finished its report, finding that 31 Aboriginal people had been killed and that in each case the death was justified.

One of the few survivors was Gwoya Jungarai, who left the area after the massacre destroyed his family. A later picture of him as "One Pound Jimmy" became an iconic Australian postage stamp.
