Shared Responsibility Agreement to Alienate Land Won in Land Rights Struggle.Shared Responsibility Agreement • June 30th, 2010
As commuters drive from Darwin’s northern suburbs to their city offices along Dick Ward Drive, the monotony of apartments and light industry lining the busy arterial road is broken by a kilometre of bushland and mangroves as the route bisects the 301 hectare Kulaluk lease, held by the Aboriginal Gwalwa Daraniki Association (GDA) since 1979. The struggle for the return of this unique area of urban bushland, tidal flats and mangrove forest began in 1971, when the Larrakia people and their supporters raised their flag outside the Darwin Supreme Court to claim back their ancestral land on which the City of Darwin had been built. For the next two years, the group directed a campaign that culminated in the firebombing of a surveyor’s truck as extensions to a housing subdivision threatened their beachside camp. The story is told in the book, Bunji: a story of the Gwalwa Daraniki Movement.
