Yoorrook Deputy Chair Commissioner Travis Lovett, Kerrupmara Gunditjmara, Walked for Truth from Portland to Parliament from Monday 25 May to Wednesday 18 June. SHC First Nation students and FIRE Carriers students and staff attended the Geelong leg on Thursday 12 June.

This powerful journey aimed to bring everyone together to walk toward truth, celebrate the strength and resistance of Aboriginal people, and be proud to have the oldest living culture in the world as ours. The walk is a powerful way to build a shared understanding of truths, talking together about our history, while walking together to transform our future, for First Peoples and for all Victorians.

This was an incredibly inspiring and transformative event which brought everyone together to help to celebrate the strength and resistance of Aboriginal people and to be proud to have the oldest living culture in the world as ours.
