Friendship: How to Make and Keep FriendsPrentice-Hall, 1980 - 163 pages Story of Australia's first successful land rights campaign: an against-the-odds struggle that reshaped our nation. As Australia wrestles again with questions of Indigenous land ownership, this film recalls the momentous fight started 40 years ago by the Gurindji people of the Northern Territory. On Australia's biggest cattle station, they took on one of England's richest aristocrats, the beef baron Lord Vestey. Their 1966 strike became one of Australia's longest industrial disputes. Their rebellion gave rise to a national movement. The story of the Wave Hill walk off is told in Kev Carmody and Paul Kelly's song From Little Things Big Thing Grow - but this story is more than just a popular folk tune; it is a milestone in Australian history and regarded by many as the beginning of the Indigenous land rights movement. Before the Wik or Mabo judgments, before ATSIC, there was the Gurindji uprising against Lord Vestey's cattle empire. Their pay and conditions were appalling; their women had been sexually abused; their land stolen. The Gurindji stuck to their demands - over nine hard years - and garnered support across Australia; from bricklayers to folk singers, from white university students to a new wave of young, urban Indigenous activists. These pioneering alliances carried the Gurindji message from the edge of the Tanami desert to the world. Ripples From Wave Hill is the definitive first-hand account of the struggle - told by the Aboriginal people who fought for their land and the radicals who joined with them. The Gurindji's victory was a pivotal event in Indigenous land rights - a transformative moment in Australian history which still resonates today. |
