John Hamp was one of three isolated Europeans whose lives were taken by Aborigines in that region over several months. Pastoral settler Captain James Beevor was speared on 3 May 1849, and Annie Easton, was killed at her hut four days later. Their deaths are set against other episodes of settler actions against Aborigines. In August 1848, the overseer of local pastoralist William Pinkerton shot and killed at least one Aboriginal man at Lake Newland, and in May 1849 five Aboriginal people wer
e poisoned, probably by shepherd Patrick Dwyer, on William Mortlock’s station. No charges were taken against Pinkerton’s overseer, George Stewart, and as we know, Dwyer escaped charges by fleeing the colony.
