Wattie Creek entered Australian folklore as the birthplace of the Aboriginal land-rights movement when Prime Minister Gough Whitlam granted the deeds to the land of the Gurindji people and symbolically poured the red dirt into the hands of Vincent Lingiari. Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody`s iconic Australian protest song tells a surprisingly unknown story of human struggle and the 8-year long fight for justice that would pave the way for future change.

Dara Hession plays a list of powerful songs throughout this podcast to help tell this story, including Beds Are Burning, Solid Rock, and From Little Things Big Things Grow.
