In 1840, a large group of shipwreck survivors were killed by Aboriginal people on the Coorong, with a monument installed in 1966 marking this massacre.
The monument omits detail of the controversial subsequent hanging of two Aboriginal men who were never granted a proper trial.
A collaborative project between the First Nations of the South East and the Kingston South East branch of the National trust is aiming to provide wider context to a historical site at a new native garden in Kingston South East.
The installations are to be put in place as part of the Telling the Whole Story project, lead by Tanganekald,
Meintangk and Bungandidj woman, Irene Watson, a law professor at the University of South Australia and Alison Stillwell from the Kingston SE local National Trust branch.
We spoke in detail with Professor Watson about the project.
