Join us for a wonderful radio adaptation of the ground-breaking promenade play The Dirty Mile.

With an all-First Nations cast, re-live the experience of strolling down the streets of Fitzroy, and hearing the stories of those that created the Koori community that initiated the first Blak Services in Australia

Walk through Fitzroy’s Blak history and experience Indigenous peoples’ strong and continuing historical, cultural and emotional connection to this place – from its Woiwurrung beginnings right up to the here and now.

Follow Doug Nicholls to footy training, listen to his sermon, meet our Returned Soldiers, our women who worked in WW2 munitions factory, Atherton Estate locals before the highrise, our sporting heroes – the Indigenous Fitzroy residents – in the pubs, organisations, churches and back lanes. The sum of all these parts connects every blakfella historically, culturally and emotionally to “Dirty Gerty”, Fitzroy…. The Dirty Mile.

The radio play will be broadcast on Saturday 9th July at 5:30pm on 3CR 855AM on online 3cr.org.au

The Dirty Mile Radio Play is supported by the Victorian Seniors Festival and the Victorian Government COVIDSafe Outdoor Activation Fund.
