Myall Creek
Like the previous website this offered no added information that i didn't already have or know. Only a portion of this website is dedicated to the actual events of the Massacre (one paragraph) the erst was dedicated to the memorial site, which proved useless.

Information from this website was gathered from:"Blood On the Wattle - Masacres and Maltreatment of Australian Aborigines since 1788" by Bruce Elder, published by National Book Distributors in 1988
A statistical overview of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia
I found this site to be extremely useful in finding evidence to support my hypothesis. this is the national australian human rights page, and gives information on both indigenous and non-indigenous people's rights, which came in very handy when explaining and providing proof for both paragraphs and topics.

Myall Creek Massacre 1838 - Massacres Aboriginal Australia
Read all about the Myall Creek Massacre on Aboriginal people in 1838, the trial of the white murderers and why the massacre at Myall Creek didn't stop frontier violence.
While this was a very enlightening website there was no new information that i hadn't already gathered from other sites.
This site did have quotes from many different sources however none were relevant to the topic and evidence that i needed.

Myall Creek massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This website was one of the most helpful for finding information relating directly to the massacre and had links and information that also related to the evidence that i needed for the paragraphs.
Also i could determine that it was fairly reliable because the evidence on Wikipedia was the same evidence on other websites.

Australian Football League
-
The organisation which became the Australian Football League was formed in 1897 when eight teams from the Victorian Football Association (VFA, established 1877) broke away to begin the Victorian Football League (VFL). By 1925 the league had expanded to twelve teams (all based in Victoria),with no change until 1982 when the league commenced its expansion to a national competition by relocating South Melbourne to Sydney, New South Wales. Since then five other non-Victorian clubs have been added: two each from Western Australia and South Australia and one from Queensland with an existing Victorian club (Fitzroy) merging with this Queensland based club at the end of the 1996 season.
