The Aborigines Protection Association was set up in 1881 to both control Aboriginal people and 'protect' them from the effects of white society. It was inspired by Christian missionary work conducted by Daniel Matthews at Maloga and Reverend J.B. Gribble at Warangesda and later expanded to include Brewarrina. In 1897 it was wound up and its properties were absorbed by the Aborigines Protection Board.
