Billy Bunter Jampijinpa walked off Wave Hill cattle station 40 years ago but he remembers the historic event as if it were yesterday. "It was the day we walked out of the darkness into the light," he says.
Mr Jampijinpa is one of the few Aboriginal stockmen still alive who walked-off the Lord Vesty-owned station on August 23, 1966 in what turned out to be the beginning of Australia's land rights movement.
