A place of truth-telling, reflection, and reconciliation.
On the lands of the Gamilaroi people, the Myall Creek Memorial stands as a place of quiet strength — where truth is spoken, lives are honoured, and healing continues.
Here, families, descendants, and communities — Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal — walk together to remember, to learn, and to keep the truth alive.
Telling the truth of our shared history.
In 1838, lives were taken at Myall Creek — one of many acts of violence during the Frontier Wars. For the first time in Australian history, some of those responsible were tries and punished under colonial law. Generations later, descendants and community members created a place where truth and respect walk side by side.
Walking together in remembrance.
Opened in 2000, the Memorial Walk follows the curve of the land — seven plaques leading to a large stone with words of truth and unity. Each step invites reflection on the courage of those who spoke truth, and the strength of the community who built this place together.
A time for reflection and healing
Every June long weekend, people gather on Country for the Annual Myall Creek Commemoration. It is a time to walk, to listen, and to remember — a moment where the past and present meet in shared respect.
Teaching truth for future generations.
Education keeps the story of Myall Creek alive. Through school learning packs and community resources, teachers and students are supported to understand the past and reflect on its meaning today.
