The Battle of Bathurst begins on September…
September 1824 CE
In an ambush, the stationhands are chased back and in the retreat three Wiradjuri warriors are shot.
The following day the station hands return to find the war parties' camp deserted as they are burying their dead; however, most of the weapons have been left in the camp and are subsequently destroyed.
As the Wiradjuri return to the war camp, the station hands fired on them, killing at least sixteen and wounding many more.
