The iconic song by Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody, our national anthem of hope and optimism, is also a wonderful children’s book illustrated by Gurindji school children and featuring evocative landscape paintings by Peter Hudson. The song recounts the story of when Vincent Lingiari and other Gurindji workers walked off the Wave Hill cattle station in 1966. What began as a strike over wages and conditions became an eight-year long struggle for the return of traditional lands, which pre-dates Mabo. It ended in August 1975 when Prime Minister Gough Whitlam symbolically poured sand into old Vincent’s hand.
