 This protest became known as the Cummeragunja walk-off, and was the first mass strike of Indigenous people in Australia, and was to inspire later movements and protests.Many of the participants in the walk-off settled in northern Victoria, including Barmah, Echuca, Mooroopna and Shepparton.Following World War II, the Government handed parcels of land at Cummeragunja and other Aboriginal reserves over to white Australian returned servicemen under the Soldier Settlement Scheme.
