Sackville Reach Aboriginal Reserve was located on the Hawkesbury River near Windsor in New South Wales, established in 1889 by the NSW Aborigines Protection Board.
[1][2][3][4][5] The government of the colony of New South Wales gazetted and revoked land for this community in the Parish of Meehan, County of Cook gazetting AR 23,957 (25 March 1896 - 15 December 1900),[6][7][8][9] AR 23,958 (25 March 1896 – 17 May 1946)[6][7][8][10] and AR 28,546 (26 November 1898 – 17 May 1946).
[4] Andrew Barber, the son of John Barber, a Dharug man, and his wife Ballandella, a Wiradjari woman, was the last resident at the Reserve.
[4] Several missionaries in charge supervised the Reserve including Retta Dixon (1901–1903),[4] Maud Oldrey (1903- ),[4][15] Annie Lock,[15][16] Emily Buttsworth (1906-)[4] until the Protection Board ruled in 1910 that female missionaries could not live alone on reserves.
[4] An obelisk memorial at the site of the reserve was established by Percy Gledhill and is inscribed ‘To the Aborigines of the Hawkesbury for whom this area was originally reserved’.
