About this audio guide
This guide to the Lotterywest Federation Walkway in Perth's Kings Park looks down from the bridge to the old Swan Brewery building on the riverbank below, and traces the four-year Aboriginal land rights fight fought over that exact site starting in nineteen eighty-nine. It follows Noongar elder Robert Bropho, a police raid, and a case that reached the High Court of Australia. Best heard from the rail at the middle of the bridge, looking straight down at the building itself.
