The Eumerella Wars were the violent encounters between European settlers and aboriginal Australians in south west Victoria.
Rolf Boldrewood wrote a chapter about the war in his book Old Melbourne Memories (1896).
The remains of people involved in the conflict are at the Deen Maar Indigenous Protected Area.
