Reliving History is a special series of Good Weekend Talks hosted by Kamilaroi journalist, Ella Archibald-Binge. Each episode will revisit key moments in Australian history through the eyes of First Nations people who lived them. This week Ella talks with the man who captured one of Australia’s most iconic images, in which Gough Whitlam pours sand through the fingers of Vincent Lingiari. Aboriginal photographer Mervyn Bishop tells the story behind the photo and shares his experience of being one of the first Aboriginal news photographers.
