Commemorating the indigenous resistance to invasion - Tunnerminnerwait and Mauboyheenner

Submitted by takver on Thu, 20/01/2011 - 11:22pm

Under blue skies and the towers of RMIT people gathered to remember two Tasmanian aborigines who were executed on this site in Melbourne on January 20, 1842. There is a growing campaign to acknowledge this forgotten history and to give recognition to Tunnerminnerwait and Maulboyheenner as freedom fighters resisting the invasion and European settlement of Australia.
