The Kabi Genocide - Deportation to Barambah
by Ray Gibbons (2019)
Queensland Aboriginals suffered a rolling genocide across multiple phases from invasion to deportation and repression, group by group, area by area. We deconstruct this fractal-like process in a companion volume.
For now, we will briefly focus on one particular language group (the Kabi of the Sunshine Coast) for one particular phase of Lemkinian repression (deportation and detention to Barambah).
Barambah near Murgon in traditional Waka Waka territory operated as an internment camp for Aboriginals who were rounded up from southeast Queensland, including the Kabi. Barambah was gazetted as a Salvation Army Aboriginal mission from 1900 when it was handed over to the Queensland Government in 1905 before being renamed Cherbourg in 1931.
