The Battle of Curalo was a significant conflict that took place in 1846 during the Australian Frontier Wars. It occurred near the Curalo River in present-day New South Wales, involving local Indigenous groups and European settlers. The battle was part of the broader struggle between Indigenous Australians and colonizers over land and resources. The conflict arose as settlers expanded their territories, leading to tensions and confrontations. The battle highlighted the resistance of Indigenous communities against colonization and the impact of European settlement on their way of life. The Curalo area remains a symbol of this historical struggle.
