Event description

In the critically acclaimed documentary Croker Island Exodus we are taken in to the heart of this remarkable story, where 95 Aboriginal children in government ‘care’, along with their 3 cottage mothers escaped the threat of Japanese invasion during WW2 by travelling from an island in the Top End to Sydney.

Over 44 days of travel, this unique cohort journeyed 5,000 miles by foot, boat, canoe, truck and train.

This compelling documentary film is their story, in their own words, a truly heroic and untold journey.

The Rural City of Wangaratta is please to present this in NAIDOC week 2025.
