January 26th 2016 - 228 years since the arrival of the first fleet in Sydney Harbour and the beginning of generations of dispossession, colonization, genocide and survival. To commemorate the occasion, this year's annual march began at the Block in Redfern and wound its way through the city streets of Sydney to Town Hall for speeches and then to 'Australia Hall' on Elizabeth Street, following in the footsteps of the first Day of Mourning held by Aboriginal activists and supporters in 1938.
