[Review Essay] The Killing Times Peter Read , 1984 single work
— Appears in: Australian Aboriginal Studies , no. 2 1984; (p. 82-83)

'The Killing Times is the story of the Coniston Massacre in Central Australia. During August and September 1928, scores of Aborigines were killed in reprisal for the murder of one white man and an attack upon another. The reprisals were led by Mounted Constable Murray, who was assisted by several settlers in the district, and three trackers. These events have received a good deal of recent publicity, principally in the course of Justice Toohey's 1982 Land Claim investigations and through a 1983 television film entitled 'A Shifting Dreaming'. The book's copyright, in fact, is owned by Cribbin and Imago films, which rather belies Cribbin's claim, 'This is not a book about a film. It does however owe its genesis to one'.'  (Introduction)
