"Later, Rolepana (aged 8 years), child-survivor of a massacre by a 'roving party' led by Batman ..." !!!
i became aware of this aussie (like hairbutt) who lived in the 1800's. what a bastard! but it's so cool to read in Wikipedia ...,
Batman sought land grants in the Western Port area, but the New South Wales colonial authorities rejected this.
Batman negotiated a treaty (now known as Batman's Treaty (!!!!) but also known as the Dutigulla Treaty, Dutigulla Deed, Melbourne Treaty or Melbourne Deed), with Kulin peoples to rent their land on an annual basis for 40 blankets, 30 axes, 100 knives, 50 scissors, 30 mirrors, 200 handkerchiefs, 100 pounds of flour and 6 shirts.
Batman is a controversial figure due to his dealings with Aboriginal peoples in Van Diemen's Land and Victoria. The artist John Glover, Batman's neighbour in Van Diemens Land, said Batman was "a rogue, thief, cheat and liar, a murderer of blacks and the vilest man I have ever known".[1]
