We are thinking of Uncle’s family and friends today. A wonderful warrior who was an active Member in the Gandangara community 🙏🏽❤️

June 3 2026 marks 34 years since the landmark decision by the High Court of Australia to overturn the doctrine of 'terra nullius' - or “land belonging to no-one” - which was declared at the time of European colonisation. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples occupied the land, spoke their own languages and had their own laws and customs long before the British arrived in 1788, and 'terra nullius' was an attempt to give legitimacy to their dispossession of First Peoples lands.

At the heart of the High Court's decision was First Peoples land rights activist and Mer (Murray) Island man Eddie Koiki Mabo (1936-1992), the first-named plaintiff in the case, who is regarded as the "father of native title".

Mabo Day occurs each year at the end of National Reconciliation Week, and is considered to be a day of reflection on what Mr Mabo and the other plaintiffs in the famous court case, which resulted in the overturning of 'terra nullius', achieved. Following the High Court ruling, Australia’s federal parliament passed the Native Title Act 1993 which established a legal framework for native title claims throughout Australia by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Thank you again to our friend and sister Gail Mabo and the Mabo family for the tireless work you continue to do to honour your father’s legacy and the help you have given in support of First Peoples human rights.

Wishing our wonderful community a happy Mabo day and THANK YOU 🙏🏽

Our next generation doing us proud.
We are blessed May May 🌸
