  • ‘Mr. and Mrs. M'Kenzie went to Rockhampton, and shortly afterwards they went to the M'Kenzie River, where her husband was employed by a squatter to tend sheep. Her husband being obliged, on account of the drought, to take the sheep daily 15 miles to grass and water, Mrs. M'Kenzie remained by herself in the iron hut, and after seven weeks residence there some blacks appeared, and by signs and gestures intimated that they had come to kill her husband and take her to their camp. … Mr Joyce (the squatter) with a number of men set out in search of Mr M'Kenzie and by following his dog they found the dead body on the following day in a lagoon, the blacks having murdered him with tomahawks.’ (Brisbane Courier 4 March 1927, p20, Death of Isabella McAskill [formerly McKenzie])[1]all time · Row 0774 Eid 21022

Has LabelAttack on Europeans/others - Murdoch Mackenzie, Maxford, Mackenzie River (end of 1863)[1]
Has Location DescriptionMr Joss’ station (Maxford Station) on the Mackenzie River[1]
Has Location Notes IssuesMaxford is not marked on any historic maps, but there is a Macksford waterhole near Columbra. Maxford is rendered Macksford in later local histories of the area – see Morning Bulletin 24 September 1948 , p3 and Central Queensland Herald 30 September 1948, p3. This location is the Macksford Waterhole.[1]
Has Location TypePastoral run[1]
Has Nature of EventAttack on Europeans/others[1]
Has Notes CommentsNo corroborating information on TROVE re this event. Isabella was married to Murdoch MacAulay McKenzie, who died in 1863 (Ancestry.com). There is no death record for Murdoch in Qld BDM, but this is not unusual. McKenzie is probably one of these shepherds: ‘Two shepherds have been slaughtered within seven miles of this place [four miles on the Apis Creek side of the first Mackenzie crossing], and no action whatever appears to have been taken in the matter.’ [the other, and more recent, is Robert McCord, who was killed early in 1864] (Queensland Times, Ipswich Herald and General Advertiser 7 April 1864, p4) William Joss had a publican’s license at Mackenzie River in 1866 (Northern Argus 13 June 1866, p3) but is also described as a ‘neighbouring squatter’ to people stranded 'four miles on the Apis Creek side of the first Mackenzie crossing' when the river floods in 1864 (Queensland Times, Ipswich Herald and General Advertiser 7 April 1864, p4). This would be very close to the location of Maxford. ‘Wm. Joss deposed that he was a squatter residing at Maxford, about fifteen miles from Columbra’ (Northern Argus 4 December 1867, p2)[1]
