Hungry for our land

On the night of January 26th 1972 a small group of Aboriginal men drove from Sydney to begin the most significant protest for land rights and equity in the history of the indigenous struggle in Australia. In the darkness opposite parliament house they pitched a beach umbrella and hung a sign on it which read: Aboriginal Embassy.

Hurley on the Mawson Expedition

03January 12, 2012 is the centenary of Sir Douglas Mawson's Antarctic expedition reaching Antarctica.  This expedition lead to Australia's claim over 42% of the frozen continent.  One of our Heros, Frank Hurley, was the cinematographer on the expedition.  He was gung ho in the most life threatening situations, he was an entrepreneur, and show biz through and through.  He was also a scoundrel who sold several hundred percent of the copyright in his films to investors.  Nothing was going to stop him and Australia is the richer for it.  Check out some background on this extraordinary man.
