NAIDOC Week Film Screening: Mabo (2012) Rated PG CC 105 mins

Directed by Rachel Perkins, Mabo follows the life of Eddie Koiki Mabo, a proud Merriam man from Murray Island (Mer), who discovers that, despite his people living on and cultivating Murray Island for generations, the land legally belongs to the Crown. Refusing to accept this injustice, he embarks on an arduous legal battle to secure native title and to challenge the traditional colonial perception of terra nullius. This legal concept, which considered Australia an empty country prior to white settlement, systematically denied the First Australians the legal and moral rights to their land. Mabo is also a tender love story between Eddie and his wife Bonita, who he meets as a teenager after being exiled to the mainland.

The physical location of the Cemetery on the cliffs above Bronte is a magnificent background and setting. Unfortunately the topography is not suitable for people with mobility difficulties. The tours which last 90 minutes are conducted by volunteers who are members of the Friends of Waverley Cemeteries.
