Here’s a chance to get to know Fitzroy’s profound Indigenous significance. From its Woiwurrung beginnings, Fitzroy was the centre of the Victorian Indigenous community as people moved from missions, came back from war, or sought family and work opportunities. As a result, Fitzroy is the birthplace of many Aboriginal organisations and the hub for Indigenous advancement whether sporting, religious, political, social or cultural.
The Dirty Mile is an award-winning drama presented by Ilbijerri Theatre. Between 23 February and 16 March you can literally walk through Fitzroy’s rich history, recognising the connection to the continuing street presence today. Meet local heroes and activists, in the organisations, pubs, churches and back lanes around “Dirty Gerty” - Gertrude Street, Fitzroy.
Performances are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm, with matinees on Saturday and Sunday at 2pm.
Tickets $30 and $20. Ring the Malthouse to book: 9685 5111
