Summary Note "The Australian Freedom Ride was a milestone in Australia's history. In 1965 a group of University of Sydney students set off across regional NSW to help open the eyes of the world to Australia's treatment of its Aboriginal peoples. In 2005 a group of young people and members of the youth network ReconciliACTION hired a bus to retrace the Freedom Riders' historic journey. Working with local reconciliation groups, Aboriginal organisations and Councils, the 2005 Freedom Riders organised a series of community events and conducted interviews in the towns visited by the original Australian Freedom Ride, to find out how people felt race relations had changed in the past 40 years." - Information booklet.
