A unique tribute to two landmark moments in Australian history, Australia Post has just released the Wave Hill Walk Off 60th Anniversary & Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 50th Anniversary 2026 50c Stamp & Coin Cover!
After years of exploitation, around 200 Gurindji stockmen, domestic staff and their families walked off the Northern Territory Wave Hill cattle station in August 1966 to protest poor pay and conditions. Led by Vincent Lingiari, the battle attracted nationwide attention, with the dispute evolving into a landmark campaign for Indigenous land rights.
The campaign ultimately inspired one of the most iconic moments in the process of reconciliation – the pouring of soil by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam into the hands of Vincent Lingiari, symbolising the return of Gurindji land. Reshaping Australia’s perception of equality and justice, the courage, unity and leadership of Lingiari and the Gurindji people also provided the spark that led to the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 – the first legislation to acknowledge Aboriginal land ownership.
An official Australia Post release, the Wave Hill Walk Off 60th Anniversary & Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 50th Anniversary 2026 50c Stamp & Coin Cover forms a permanent keepsake of key events in Australia’s ongoing process of reconciliation. Headlined by a unique 50c portraying the Wave Hill Walk Off and the handover of Gurindji land, this poignant release also features two stamps, each bearing an image of Gough Whitlam pouring soil into Vincent Lingiari’s hands.
A bargain at the Official Issue Price of just $27, this important, richly symbolic release is also surprisingly exclusive. The limited edition has been restricted to a mere 5,000!
