This site has some amazing info on it and it contains slightly revised text of the book published by Wyong Shire Council in 1988 about the History of a New South Wales Timber Town to 1930 by BC Jones & AC Eyers.

So little was the Aborigines' culture understood by the first several generations of Europeans in New South Wales that the lifestyle of the indigents was soon completely upset, the great majority of those who survived becoming wholly dependent on reservations and handouts [Haigh C, ‘Ignorance, Alcohol, God-and Good Intentions’ in Haigh and Goldstein (eds) The Aborigines of NSW (NSW Government National Parks and Wildlife Service, undated), a reprint from 11 Parks and Wildlife (5)].

Very often men were ruthlessly slaughtered when they reacted to the provocation of the stealing of their land or violence to their women [Forestry Commission of NSW Red Cedar (pamphlet 1979); Vinnicombe P, Predilection and Prediction; a study of Aboriginal Sites in the Gosford-Wyong Region (a report to the NSW Government National Parks and Wildlife Service, 1980) at IV:21].
