In 1863, the Ramahyuck Aboriginal Mission was established by the Presbyterian Mission Committee, on the banks of the Avon River, near Lake Wellington in Gippsland. The word Ramahyuck is composed of the Hebrew word Ramah meaning the “home of Samuel” and the Gunaikurnai word yuck meaning “mother” or “own.” Friedrich August Hagenauer, a Moravian missionary, oversaw the settlement, which accommodated people from the Gunaikurnai nation.

Ramahyuck was established to provide protection for the survivors of the Brayakooloong and Tatungooloong, two Gunaikurnai clans, but Hagenauer was intolerant of their culture and authoritarian. He forbade corroborees (festivals celebrating tribal victories), and would not tolerate any tribal habits or laws. His motive was to encourage “civilization” and therefore requested that all natives gather their spears, boomerangs, and other traditional implements in a pile to set alight and destroy them.

Between 1863 and 1900, around 29 buildings were constructed on the station. Australia’s 1886 Aborigines Protection Act forced those of mixed heritage off the missions and reserves, which resulted in a rapid decline in the population. From 1905 until 1908 when Ramahyuck was closed, aboriginal people from this mission were moved, some forcibly, to Lake Tyers Mission. Today only the cemetery remains at Ramahyuck.
