Justice & Peace Candle Light Walk around Government House, Adelaide, Just bring your candle. All welcome.

Australians can show their support for a treaty with Australia's Indigenous peoples. Candles are lit to promote justice and peace, advocating an Indigenous treaty. Walkers gather with candles at the front of Government House on North Terrace to listen to Aboriginal people and to share views. The walk aims to protect Ngarrindjeri culture, spiritual beliefs, lands and waters via a Treaty and a Bill of Rights, by ending the alienation of traditional lands and their environment.

History of the candlelight walk

Over January 2000 a number of Ngarrindjeri people came together under the auspices of the Ngarrindjeri Land and Progress Association Inc (NLPA), with its Chairperson and Manager, Tom Trevorrow, to meet with lawyer Patrick Byrt, a volunteer Convenor of Reconciliation and Human Rights at the then Norwood Community Legal Service Inc, to discuss how to get a Ngarrindjeri involvement in activities on 26 January 2000.
