"Travis Lovett began his 486km journey with a single step and a long-held hope
to bring the people of Victoria with him on a journey through the state’s
colonial past.
It’s a traumatic past that Lovett has been peering into for the past three
years through his work as a commissioner and co-chair on the Yoorrook Justice
Commission, the county’s first formal, Indigenous-led truth-telling process.
“Truth telling has never been more important than it is right now, with the
commission coming to an end,” Lovett says. “That’s what I’ve emphasised on this
walk.”
As he talks about his journey on Tuesday, the Kerrupmara Gunditjmara man is
walking through Footscray on the second-last day of the Yoorrook commission’s
walk for truth. The walk will arrive at state parliament on Wednesday."
