This was such a pivotal moment in Australia’s history, a fascinating legal case and a man, Eddie Mabo, whose story we should all know.
Really, what was so important about the Mabo decision is that it challenged one of the biggest lies at the heart of Australia’s foundation — that the land was empty when the British arrived.
So today we want to look at who Eddie Mabo was, how his case came to be and the journey of him taking it all the way to the High Court - forcing Australians to formally recognise that our Indigenous people had rich culture, laws and land ownership long before British invasion.
