Appin massacre
1816 killing of Aboriginal Australians
The Appin massacre was the mass murder of Aboriginal men, women and children in the New South Wales settlement of Appin, South Western Sydney, on 17 April 1816 by members of the 46th Regiment. The massacre resulted in the loss of a large number of the local Dharug and Gundungurra population, mainly due to displacement. The event was the first military ordered massacre of Aboriginal people in Australia.
