Almost 50 years since @AustralianLabor PM Gough Whitlam made the legendary speech (see link) on Gurindji Country (pouring a handful of earth into Vincent Lingiari's hand). No PM has set foot here ever since. Walk with us @AlboMP? Freedom Day is Aug 26.

Look who's the headline act at this year's @FreedomDayNT. None other than the legendary @paulkelly, the very man who co-wrote From Little Things (a Gurindji anthem!). More artist announcements to come. 🎉🎉🎉

We are VERY excited to share this draft program for our big 55th Freedom Day Festival (27-29 August 2021). We can’t wait! We look forward to welcoming people from across Australia to this epic event in the heart of the Northern Territory.

We are shocked and saddened by this. It seems the legacy of Vincent Lingiari and the Elders has been horribly dishonoured.

The Kalkaringi Store crew looking deadly in the new Freedom Day merch. The Store/Caravan Park is one of the Gurindji Corporation's community enterprise providing jobs for locals and making sure all the Freedom Day visitors can get fuel & supplies this weekend. #FreedomDay2019

Freedom Day week! This year, the Gurindji community invite visitors to either camp in town or nearby on Country. We gave Possum Hill a little test run and can confirm it's absolutely awesome, and the new road up the hill makes it super easy to get to. #freedomday2019

Work has well and truly begun setting up for Freedom Day Festival (Aug 23-25). We'd love to see you out here for this important and fun event! Who's coming? @ABCIndigenous @NITV #FreedomDay2019

This Freedom Day (Aug 23), when people gather on Gurindji country to celebrate the legendary Wave Hill Walk-off, why not ask your local radio station to play 'From Little Things Big Things Grow', the song that immortalises the brave stand taken by Vincent Lingiari and his people?

[Freedom Day Festival @FreedomDayNT]

Freedom Day is an event inspired by the brave and determined actions of our Gurindji Elders. It is a commemoration and a celebration of the long and difficult campaign they undertook to fight for the rights of the Gurindji people and of all Aboriginal people Australia-wide.

Here's the latest program for Freedom Day Festival (@FreedomDayNT). One of Australia's most remote Aboriginal festivals. Who's making the pilgrimage this year? #FreedomDay2019

[Freedom Day Festival @FreedomDayNT]

Every August, we gather in the heart of the NT to celebrate this big moment for Aboriginal people. We do this through song, dance, sport, art & more. The Gurindji people invite you to make the journey to @FreedomDayNT 2019. Who's in? #bucketlist #pilgrimage #fromlittlethings

[Freedom Day Festival @FreedomDayNT]

Save the date! #FreedomDayFestival #FD2019

Many of us know the song, but who knows the story behind it? #fromlittlethings #freedomdayfestival

All Australians should attend at least one Freedom Day Festival. Make the pilgrimage, walk in the footsteps of Vincent Lingiari and the Gurindji people, and celebrate in the spirit of unity and pride. https://t.co/OasQZwZPiH
