Although the exact location of the massacre site has previously been disputed by historians, ongoing research at the Newcastle University, led by historian Professor Lyndall Ryan, has led to an agreement of the approximate location of the massacre site. This has stemmed from a large investigative project that has been established to map out a series of massacre sites across New South Wales, with estimates showing a network of at least 150 massacres resulting in approximately 6,000 deaths. Across Australia the research and mapping has revealed at least 311 massacres over a period of 140 years.
