Victoria's Yoorrook Justice Commission is holding a Walk for Truth from 25 May to 18 June, from Portland in Western Victoria to Melbourne and passing through Warrnambool, Colac, Geelong and Footscray, to conclude at Victoria's Parliament House.
The Walk will be led by Travis Lovett, Gunditjmara, Deputy Chair of Yoorrook, who says, 'Yoorrook invites everyone to join us on this powerful journey, to walk together toward truth, to be part of the positive change for Victoria and Australia, to celebrate the strength and resistance of Aboriginal people and to be proud to have the oldest living culture in the world as ours'.
