Register now for an intimate glimpse into Jack Thompson’s experience living on a remote Northern Territory cattle station.
In his lecture, “A Stockman’s Life,” Jack recounts his life as a 15-year-old worker. He shares his story of acceptance by the local Aboriginal community, learning their language, and - in a time of inequality for Aboriginal people - being treated as an equal, with dignity and respect.
Jack remembers the historic Walk Off at Wave Hill, when Vincent Lingiari led 200 Gurindji stockmen, domestic workers, and their families on strike in pursuit of fair wages and conditions. This event marked the beginning of the Land Rights movement in Australia.
