It was a day that will go down in history.
After three decades of heated debate, opposition and a tightly contested council vote, the Aboriginal flag was finally flown at Alice Spring’s Anzac Hill on Monday to mark NAIDOC Week celebrations in the Northern Territory.
The flag was raised at midday after a smoking ceremony and address from Alice Springs town councillor Catherine Satour. She was instrumental in allowing the Aboriginal flag to be raised in the outback town’s landmark on special occasions.
