Book Launch: The Squatters’ Grab

Wednesday 20 March, 6.30pm
Readings State Library

Join us for the launch of Wal Walker's The Squatters' Grab.

The Squatters’ Grab documents the shameful failure of the colonial administrators to control the ascendancy of the squatters, who threw Indigenous Australians off their country with increasing violence and no compensation.

Free, but bookings are essential.

Please book here.
