Frontier Wars
Danny Eastwood
Danny Eastwood points out that those wishing to mourn First Nations people who died fighting in frontier wars during the colonial era, and to learn about this history, are currently unable to see a dedicated display about these key conflicts in the Australian War Memorial. In 2023 the new chair of the Memorial’s board, the Hon Kim Beazley AC, said it was ‘enormously important’ to include a display about frontier wars in the Memorial’s current $550-million renovation project.
