Walk of Awareness

Apristine morning with a beautiful Port River looking like a sheet of glass greeted hundreds of people taking part in the Walk of Awareness in Port Adelaide in February.

The event marks the moment in 2008, when then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd made the historic National Apology to the Stolen Generations, acknowledging the harm caused to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples and their families.

Although normally held annually, the event has been cancelled for the past two years due to Covid-19.

Around 300 people walked over the historic Birkenhead Bridge to a smoking ceremony and to commemorate the event with speeches on the eastern wharf.
