Peter Pegg |
Gin Gin Station |
A boy shepherd. 12 or 13 years old. Killed on the same day, but separately from his brother. “On reaching the spot where the body was, the sight would sicken the stoutest heart. There was the unfortunate shepherd lying on a large ant’s nest, with a blackfellow’s spear driven through his belly, and stript of every shred of clothing. They had likewise decamped with his gun and ammunition, but not until they had battered the body and face until he could hardly be recognised”. The unfortunate boys’ mother had met with so severe an accident, in coming to the station, as to be disabled for life. Not long after this the master of the station himself (Gregory Blaxland) was also killed by the blacks“. |

Gregory Blaxland |
Burnett River/Wide Bay |
Gin Gin Station. Several shepherds were also killed here (Including the two Pegg boys). Blaxland was killed within fifty yards of his own house, in broad daylight. They hid the body in one of the deepest holes in the creek, where the water was six feet deep, and jammed the body under a large tea tree root. The body was found next morning, and was an unforgettably shocking sight. His face and head were so battered as to have lost all semblance of humanity. We had scarcely conveyed the master to the hut, when we heard that another shepherd was murdered. But this time it was found that the man was not dead, but had both eyes gouged out with the end of a nulla nulla — a dreadful sight to behold. The blacks killed or drove away one-half of the sheep on the station, and burned the grass after them so as to obliterate the track. We however managed to follow one flock of lambing ewes, the lambs just dropped serving to mark their track. Some of these, but a few hours old, we found scorched and nearly roasted by the fire. |
