Baulie (c.1835 – 7 March 1860), also known as Bally, Boney or Bahlee, was an Indigenous Australian resistance fighter best known for being a leader in the 1857 Hornet Bank massacre of British settlers near Taroom in what is now rural Queensland.
With Baulie and several other of his men, he formed the Hornet Bank pastoral run in the upper Dawson River region of what is now Queensland.
He also managed over time to establish his own amicable contacts with the Yiman, who had mostly been forced into taking refuge in the nearby rugged Expedition Range to escape being shot by the colonists and their Native Police.
William, David and John Fraser, who were young men at this time, would regularly abduct and rape Yiman women.
[1] In the days and months following the Hornet Bank massacre, many punitive expeditions were organised by the colonists to inflict collective punishment on any Aboriginal people they found in the region.
A detachment of troopers under Second Lieutenant Frederick Carr were mobilised to Bendemeer where they engaged in an hour long battle with Baulie and his warriors.
