Ernest Eglinton was the Sub-Inspector in Boulia who took part in those massacres. Much of my work in NW Queensland has derived from my friendship with and work with his grandson Tom born to the Yalarrnga woman, Ruby.
Eglinton also had a non-Aboriginal family and they ended up living in Brisbane at a house just to the right of these steps. A relative remembers staying in the house in 1954 and that the garden went down a lot behind the house. That is what these steps represent.
