Happy Mabo Day


Happy Mabo Day for Thursday June 3.
We celebrate the huge and valiant struggles of Torres Strait Islander Eddie Mabo (and his mob and supporters) towards native title in Australia. I photographed this sign - and the sculpture in honour of him seen in the entry below - when I was in Townsville in May to tell stories.
I also had the privelege of telling stories at a school where some of Eddie's young descendants attended.
