WONNERUP

'One of the most bloodthirsty deeds ever committed by Englishmen'

Warren Bert Kimberly. 1897

The Wonnerup massacre was the killing of dozens of Waadandi Noongar people by European settlers in the vicinity of Wonnerup, Western Australia in February 1841.  The massacre took place after Gaywal, a Waadandi Man, speared and killed George Layman, a settler at Wonnerup on 21 February 1841. The leaders of the punitive massacre were Layman's neighbours John Bussell and Captain John Molloy, resident magistrate of the district. 

Wonnerup is an animated dramatised documentary in pre production.
