From Little Things Big Things Grow

"From Little Things Big Things Grow" is a protest song written by Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody. It is based on the story of the Gurindji Strike and Vincent Lingiari who struggled for land rights and reconciliation.  It describes how the Gurindji people's claim sparked the land rights movement, resulting in land being handed back to the Gurindji people by Gough Whitlam in 1975.
From Little Things Big Things Grow is one of three songs you will hear as you watch this clip of our experience on Elcho Island. We hope that it inspires you to learn more and take action to help Close the Gap between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians.
