EUROBODALLA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL HERITAGE STUDY<br />
South Coast NSW<br />
late 1800s and early 1900s made it harder for Aboriginal people to maintain or<br />
develop economic independence in such ways.<br />
Formation of Aboriginal Reserves<br />
While there were a considerable number of reserves created for the use of Aboriginal<br />
people throughout the <strong>Eurobodalla</strong> region there is limited information available in the<br />
documentary record regarding these reserves. Some reserves appear not to have been<br />
occupied, many appear to have been occupied by individual families, many were short<br />
lived. The table on the following page provides a comprehensive listing of reserves in<br />
the area based on the records of the Aborigines Protection Board.<br />
