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 Fremantle to honour the courage and determination of the strikers, and commemorate this pivotal, yet little known event in our shared history.
Sit down and listen to stories of courage and determination about how and why the 1946 Pilbara Strike happened.
 
This event will take place in the park behind Fremantle lawn tennis club. It will be followed by an indoor concert (see separate event).
