Reverend F.P. Strickland, manager of Coranderrk Aboriginal Station wrote to Captain Page, General Inspector of the Board for the Protection of Aborigines, on 10 October 1881 stating that ‘the men are in a state of revolt’ and refusing to work. The government had recently established an Inquiry into the conditions and management at Coranderrk Station, and Page used this report to support his recommendation that Coranderrk be closed.
