- Abstract
The article examines mixed-race unions as contributor to the rapid depopulation and detribalisation of traditional Aboriginal society in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales from 1788 until 1850. It describes the indigenous peoples of the valley, foreign intrusions, colonisation and destruction of tribal life in the valley, and miscegenation from 1788 until 1850. The Lake Macquarie Mission and the Australian Agricultural Company as well as the aftermath of mixed-race unions are also discussed.
