Using historical material, Bluff Rock focuses on the ways that the massacre of Aborigines at Bluff Rock, in New England, Australia, during the 1840s has been recorded and remembered. It is the author's ability to lay herself on the line that makes this a courageous and even controversial text. Katrina Schlunke takes this one story from early colonial Australia and looks at the many ways it is organized as a memory of Indigenous/non-Indigenous relations.
