Was Aboriginal scalping in new south wales?

The practice of scalping Aboriginal people was not unique to New South Wales. It occurred throughout Australia during the frontier wars of the 18th and 19th centuries. This practice was not officially sanctioned by the British colonial government, but was carried out by some settlers and explorers as a way to claim rewards or prove their hunting prowess. It is important to note that the scalping of Aboriginal people was a brutal practice that resulted in unnecessary bloodshed and loss of life, and it is a shameful period in the history of Australia.
