ABSTRACT
[The beginnings of the protest] went back at least fourteen months before we actually put the Embassy up. We went to a Land Council meeting that was run by Frank Roberts and he brought some people together that called themselves the New South Wales Land Council – nothing like the one that exists now, trust me! But they were the old ones and they were people like Alice Briggs and Mrs Marr, and those people from Tarree and Purfleet Mission, old man Jack Campbell and Bertie Marr and then there was another oldfella down on the south coast, Percy Mumbler, old Ted Thomas from down the South Coast and old Harry Hall from Walgett, you know, these places. And they were all meeting at the University of New South Wales in 1971.
