In From the rich man’s table Frith reflects upon the start of the modern land rights movement, which saw Gurindji Aboriginal people ‘walk off’ Wave Hill Station in protest over conditions and their rights to traditional lands.
This famous walk off was a watershed for the Aboriginal land rights movement and led to a wholesale and radical reappraisal of Indigenous rights.
