From the Maitland Mercury report:
One of Australia's most historic gravesites lies anonymous and in a state of neglect in Glebe Cemetery, East Maitland.
Denny Day, the former police magistrate of Maitland from in the 1830s and ‘40s may well be Australia's greatest lawman, instrumental in bringing to justice the killers in the infamous Myall Creek Massacre. At least 28 aborigines - mostly the elderly and children - were killed at a peaceful camp in what remains to this day as Australia's most notorious aboriginal massacre.
Maitland City Council Heritage Officer Clare James says plans are afoot to restore the gravesite.
"There has been an intensive two-year review of the gravesites at Glebe, taking into account their condition and historical importance," Ms James said. "Restoration work on the first phase is due for completion any day now, and Denny Day's gravesite is scheduled for the next phase and should be complete within the next two years.”
