Settler records show that there were Aboriginal people still living on the 'Tindarey' sheep station in late 1885. It seems that there was frontier violence—probably including a massacre of local people by settlers in the Mount Drysdale area, either during the 1880s or in 1899—the earlier period seems more likely. Whatever it was that occurred is not well documented. However, by 1907, official records showed no Aboriginal people as living at Mount Drysdale.
