"On a cold day 25 years ago, a bitter wind swept up from the south, pushing
against an endless throng of people crossing one of Australia’s most famous
landmarks.
Some 250,000 people were walking across Sydney Harbour Bridge in support of
Indigenous reconciliation. It was an event called Corroboree 2000.
It took more than six hours for the mass of people to make their way from north
to south, into the city. Across the nation, in small towns and in the capital
cities, bridge walks symbolised overcoming a difficult past and coming
together.
But Australia’s relationship with First Nations people in the years since has
been sometimes tumultuous, occasionally optimistic and often vexed. What legacy
did the event leave?"
