Celebrating Aboriginal Culture in Gertrude Street

In the time before boutique salons and soy lattes, Fitzroy was an altogether different place. For 40,000 odd years before European settlement, the area now known as Fitzroy belonged to the Wurundjeri. From the 1920s onwards, Fitzroy became the thriving hub of Aboriginal Victoria – the known meeting place for linking in with family, the rallying point for political activism and the birthplace for many important Aboriginal organisations.
