- productDescription:
- <p>On Valentine’s Day 1916, soldiers from a number of training camps in the Liverpool area rioted in protest at their conditions. After months of unrest, tempers boiled over as some 3,000 soldiers decided to strike. After fuelling their anger in local pubs, they swarmed onto trains at Liverpool Station, bound for Sydney’s CBD.</p><p>Although short-lived, the riots caused widespread damage and contributed to the death of a recruit and the injury of others. The incident also led to the introduction of 6pm closing in New South Wales hotels, a law which lasted for almost 40 years.</p>

- productDescription:
- <p>On 12 February 1965, a group of University of Sydney students hired a bus, hung a banner across the side and set off on a 2-week bus trip across NSW. Led by Indigenous rights activist Charles Perkins – who went on to become the first Indigenous man to graduate from an Australian University – the Freedom Ride was instrumental in raising awareness of racial injustice and building momentum for reconciliation action in Australia.</p><p>The widely-publicised Ride contributed significantly to changes in Australians’ attitudes towards Aboriginal rights. Subsequently, in 1967, more than 90% of Australians voted ‘Yes’ in a landmark referendum that gave Indigenous Australians full rights as citizens.</p>
