Why

75 years ago, on May 1 (May Day), 1946, hundreds of Aboriginal workers began walking off dozens of pastoral stations across the vast Pilbara region to fight for wages and better living conditions.

We invite you to join us and members of the Pilbara Strike families in Walyalup to honour the courage and determination of the strikers, and commemorate this pivotal, yet little known event in our shared history.

This event features a special collaboration between musicians Lois Olney, David Milroy, Dave Johnson, Mike Burns & David Hyams, which includes new music created specifically for the event, as well as new arrangements of historic material.

Tickets available from StickyTickets.

For updates check the ticket link, or the Facebook event.
