=====
"William Chatfield of Natal Downs Station west of Bowen, NSW was another squatter who had a more civilised attitude towards Aboriginal people. Before Chatfield bought the station in 1871, the owner had experienced many years of conflict with the local tribe.

Citing Christison’s lead, Chatfield pursued a humane policy of letting the blacks live in safety on his station. He said he believed pastoralists placed too much emphasis on the few cattle the people speared and he pointed to the positive effect they had on conserving pasture by keeping marsupial numbers down."
