Park is being renamed

2021-11-14

The New South Wales government will rename Ben Boyd national park on the state’s south coast due to the pastoralist’s association with blackbirding.

The environment minister, Matt Kean, announced the move on Sunday after an independent report showed Boyd’s involvement in blackbirding in the mid-1800s was viewed by many at the time as a form of slavery.

“There are many people from NSW’s early history who are worth remembering and celebrating but it is clear from this historical analysis that Ben Boyd is not one of them,” Kean said.

Blackbirding involved deceiving or kidnapping Pacific Islanders to force them into unpaid or lowly paid work in distant lands including Australia.

Boyd, a wealthy Scottish immigrant with huge landholdings in Australia, was considered an early proponent of the practice.

The Ben Boyd national park, created in 1971, will be renamed in the language of traditional custodians.

NSW will now work with Indigenous elders and Aboriginal community representatives to find a new name. The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service has a policy to source the names of all new parks from Aboriginal communities.

Sunday’s announcement follows a report last year, conducted by independent historian Dr Mark Dunn, who confirmed Boyd’s involvement in blackbirding and found it was viewed as a form of slavery at the time.
