Tens of thousands of people rallied last Friday, the 26th of January, 2024, on Gadigal Land, Sydney, to commemorate Invasion Day, the 236th anniversary of the landing of the British ‘First Fleet’ at what is now known as Sydney Cove, marking the beginning of the colonisation of so-called Australia and the attempted genocide of the continent’s First Nations’ peoples.
The rally started at Belmore Park, where speeches were made, before marching down Broadway to Victoria Park to join the Yabun Festival, a celebration of survival of Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders.
