What happened, and why it still matters

Briefings on Key Dates

Some dates in Australia matter far more than the school curriculum has ever admitted. I give you a Briefing here about why they are important that you can get in about five minutes: starting with a short video to watch first, then the essentials in plain points.

23 August 1966 · Sixtieth anniversary

The Wave Hill Walk-off, Sixty Years On

Vincent Lingiari led about two hundred Gurindji stockmen, domestic workers and their families off Wave Hill Station. What started over rations and wages became a nine-year claim for Country, and it ended with a handful of red soil and a change in Australian law.

A five-minute video, six points, and the common ground I see with other peoples still waiting on their land.
