[edit] COOLAC MASSACRE
Gundagai is known for an image of a dog on a box. This symbolism is more recently based on a poem about a bullock waggon stuck in the mud near Gundagai pre gazettal of Gundagai as a town in 1838. This bullock waggon carried a load of flour for the European settlers. The flour had to come from the mill at Goulburn. There was a severe drought happening. The flour on the bogged bullock wagon was rifled while the bullock driver was in the nearby hotel and subsequently, the remaining flour was laced with arsenic. More flour was taken from the waggon by Aboriginal people with the end result being there were many deaths. The massacre was heard about in Sydney and was investigated, but no one was able to be held to account. For many years the event was told and retold and a dog figure, representing an aspect of Australian Aboriginal lore, was placed on a stick at the Nine Mile near where the massacre happened. A photo exists of this earlier Dog monument. The story was passed down among long-time Gundagai residents and is still spoken about in Gundagai today but for many years when it was mentioned, people were told not to speak about it. The story was also retold in a popular Australian poem by Jack Moses but from a different, perhaps less challenging, perspective which explained the lingering tale that just would not go away. The known disparity between, and debate about, whether the event happened at the Five Mile or Nine Mile is to do with this. The event is known as ‘The Coolac Massacre’.

Radio Monash is the radio station of Australia's largest student community, beginning at Monash University in 1965. It provides information, musical content and programming by students from the Monash University campuses in Victoria, Malaysia and South Africa, and a network of similar communities. It is a student intiated and run internet radio station incorporating an online journalism course.
[edit] Scope
The station provides journalism research, and news and discusion on performing arts, politics and music. Indigenous affairs, alumni news from the University and some foreign language content is included in their production.[1]
As an overall joint initiative of the Monash Student Association (MSA), Monash University and the Radio Monash Association membership, Radio Monash is a unique endeavour involving members of the Monash community on all levels.[citation needed]
Radio Monash was the first internet only student radio station in Australia, after the station was forced to terminate broadcasting over the airwaves and began live streaming instead.
[edit] Brief Station History
Radio Monash began in 1965 as a pirate radio station called 3DR or Draft Resistance Radio, its title relating to opposing the practice of conscription to recruit soldiers to fight in the Vietnam War. In 1972 it became an official club of the University's student union, changing its name to 3MU (Monash University Radio). For many years, the station "broadcast" only via the Clayton campus's PA system from the basement of what is now known as the Campus Centre, but in the 1980s, the station obtained a low-power AM broadcast license from the Government of Australia's Department of Communications. It did not at this stage have a wide audience as the station was outside the normal AM broadcast band. Its staff were largely journalism students, who from 1970 onward could have work at the station counted as a unit within their degree program.
In 1989, the station commenced FM transmission on 95.7 FM as a student broadcast to the Melbourne community. This was done on the basis of a temporary broadcast licence issued by the Department which had to be renewed regularly. A studio was built for it between 1992 and 1997 on a capital grant provided by the student union. The studio became operational in August 1999, by this stage it was running three days a week (Tuesday through Thursday).
In 2001 3MU changed it's name to 3MR (3 Monash Radio) to encompass the surrounding community of the Monash area rather than catering for just students going to Monash University. 2001 also saw 3MR become the first student radio station to have a stage at a major music festival in Australia. The Offshore Festival, which was held at the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds, had a 3MR Live Lounge stage which was run by the staff members of Radio Monash and which featured; Australian bands, both signed and unsigned, comedians or performance and a headlining international act.
However, 2001 also saw the end of a regular temporary community broadcasting program in Melbourne with the issuing of a number of permanent licences. 3MR did not receive it's own licence, but instead formed part of the successful SYN FM group.
Monash University specific radio then began broadcasting solely on the internet. In 2003, what was now "Radio Monash" received a grant from the Faculty of Arts at Monash University for a multi-campus streaming site which was eventually re-developed into an internationally accessible website as an access point for the radio station's live-streaming and podcast service.
[edit] Radio-On-Demand
Through the recommendation of the board, Radio-On-Demand was introduced in April 2007. Radio-On-Demand provides listeners with a convenient way of accessing content broadcasted at an earlier date as required.
[edit] Podcasting
Radio Monash is also a producer of podcasts of varying content. One regular podcast is the Vice Chancellor's Ancora Imparo , focussed primarily on general university matters and staff issues. Other podcasts include the Research Postgraduate series, focussing on degree by higher research students in line with the university's research focus. Other podcasts are based on the arts or student clubs.
Radio Monash styles itself as a producer of podcasts, and was at one time referred to as DIY Radio and Podcasting. .
