"Scars in the Landscape is a register of massacres and killings of Aboriginal people discovered during Ian Clark's doctoral research into western Victoria, and covers the period 1803 to 1859. In a deliberate challenge to the ideology that the colonisation of western Victoria was peaceful, the register reveals that violence was widespread... Through searching contemporary archival material, utilising Aboriginal oral history and local histories, and by studying place names in the region, Ian Clark presents us with a detailed, meticulously researched study of massacres in one Australian region. According to Professor Henry Reynolds 'it provides a powerful riposte to those who doubt the intensity and ubiquity of frontier conflicts as well as standing alone as a fine piece of detailed scholarship'."
