The day was concluded with a speech and surf from Recognise youth ambassador Pete Dawson who spoke of the significance behind the board.
“It’s travelled with us from Darwin all the way to West Australia, collecting signatures and messages all about recognition from local community people as we go, so the board will come into Perth and send that message of recognition to the Perth community,” said Mr Dawson.
David Wirrpanda and Ernie Dingo were among community members and activists to show their support for the campaign.
Mr Wirrpanda avoided questions about his future political aspirations to concentrate on the current task of reconciliation.

Ernie Dingo was passionate in explaining the importance of the Recognise movement.
“We need to shape up and recognise the fact that what had happened in the beginning, in the past, is in the past. It’s a foundation,” said Mr Dingo.
