Cummeragunja walk-off
1939 protest by Aboriginal Australians
The Cummeragunja walk-off was a 1939 protest by Aboriginal Australians at the Cummeragunja Station, an Aboriginal reserve in southern New South Wales. Approximately 100 residents of the station walked off in protest of their poor living conditions and mistreatment by the white station manager, as well as the perceived indifference of the Aborigines Protection Board and the state government.
