banjo Morton:
the untold story

An interactive educational resource about
the remarkable Alyawarra leader Banjo Morton

'In 1949, Banjo Morton and a small handful of his workmates walked off the vast Lake Nash Cattle Station in the Northern Territory'...

Over 70 years ago, Banjo caused a radical turning point in conditions for First Nations workers. Each chapter of the experience takes the reader deeper into Alyawarra history, culture and political legacy, while also providing a national context for the community’s actions.

This educational resource has curriculum-linked educational resources specifically designed for teachers of years 5 – 12 around Australia.
