Gary Shearston
We Are Going to Freedom
Single AU 1966 on CBS label
World (Pop Rock)
Both tracks have Australian indigenous links. A version of 'We are Going to Freedom' was used in the 1967 Australian Referendum, which proposed to amend the Constitution to include Aboriginal people in the census, and to allow the Commonwealth government to make laws for Aboriginal people. The Gary Shearston version is based on a poem by Aboriginal poet and leader Kath Walker, later known as Oodgeroo Noonaccul. * * Sources: 1. https://www.creativespirits.info/aboriginalculture/history/australian-1967-referendum (Jens Korff) 2. http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/auscurric/sampleunit/1967referendum/ref_worksheet5.pdf 'The Land Where The Crow Flies Backwards' is a cover version of a song originally written by Aboriginal songwriter and former stockman 'Dougie Young'
