In 2004, former AFL legend Michael Long decided that something needed to be done about the plight of the Indigenous community, so he walked from his home in Melbourne all the way to Parliament House in Canberra. The Long Walk was born, with money raised to support Indigenous education programs across the country.
Eighteen years on, Michael Long and the Long Walk return to Federation Square with live music performed by some of Australia's leading Indigenous artists, free sport and art activations for the family, and a huge BBQ put on by Scouts Victoria (proceeds shared between Scouts and the Long Walk).
The event will again conclude with the Walk to the G, as part of the traditional Dreamtime match between Essendon and Richmond.
