Myall Creek Massacre
A short walk of about 500m to the site of the massacre.
Just before sunset on 10 June 1838, while the Wirrayaraay people were preparing for their evening meal, a group of convicts, former convicts and one settler arrived at the station fully armed. The group tied up the frightened Wirrayaraay people and led them away from their campsite.
Two women and a young girl were set aside, while another young girl was given to Yintiyantin, an Aboriginal stockman whose country was further south and who worked on the Myall Creek station. Two boys escaped by jumping into the creek.
George Anderson, hut keeper at Myall Creek station, later described the terror of the Wirrayaraay people as they were led away and slaughtered. Afterwards, their bodies were piled up and burned. The remains of at least 28 corpses were later observed at the site, but the final death toll has never been confirmed.

Myles Dunphy Bushland Reserve
Myles Dunphy Bushland Reserve has a few short and easy trails to enjoy. Located close to Oatley train station it is easily accessible by public transport. The reserve is named after Myles Dunphy, the father of conservation in NSW and former Oatley resident.
Lots of wildflowers are visible on the track and it is a great short walk to do before enjoying a lunch in one of the many cafes in Oatley.
its a great walk for kids under 5 to do.
