This month (tue, aug 23) marks 50 years since the day 200 Aboriginal workers walked off a Northern Territory cattle station in protest over exploitative living and wage conditions. The 1966 stand, known as the Wave Hill Walk Off, triggered a land-rights movement that, almost a decade later, led to one of the first cases of returning traditional land to Indigenous Australians.
