Beschreibung:

The Freedom riders arrives in Wellington, NSW, observing the living conditions of the Indigenous peoples. Obvious segregation and discrimination against the Indigenous peoples was found.
"Houses of tin, mud floors, very overcrowded, kids had eye diseases, had to cart water (very unhealthy) from river..." "Others came across racism in a pub. An aboriginal was allowed in only because he was with us... We noticed a sign above the doorway of the halfway hotel - 'Aborigines not allowed in the lounge without the Licencsee's oermission'" - Ann Curthoys
