International audienceThe Australian commemorative landscape has long been dominated by memorials to white settlement of the continent and their associated historical narratives of discovery, exploration, pioneering and the extra-territorial war memory of Anzac. This article considers how Indigenous narratives were marginalized or suppressed in the construction of that landscape and it examines, from geo-historiographical and political perspectives, the struggle over commemorative space and the contemporary movement to recover and reinscribe social memories of the Frontier or Black Wars in Australia’s geography of remembrance.Le paysage commémoratif australien accorde une place prépondérante aux mémoriaux à la colonisation blanche du continent et les récits historiques associés à la découverte, l’exploration, l’esprit pionnier, et l’extraterritorialité de la mémoire de guerre « Anzac ». Cet article considère comment la perspective indigène a été marginalisée ou supprimée dans la construction de ce paysage et il examine, d’un point de vue géo-historiographique et politique, la contestation de l’espace commémoratif et le mouvement contemporain en faveur de la redécouverte et la réinscription de la mémoire sociale des guerres de la frontière, ou « guerres noires », dans la géographie du souvenir de l’Australie
