On Saturday 27th May 1967 close to 92% of Toowoomba residents voted YES to the “Aboriginal question” as part of a Federal referendum. The majority of letters and articles concerning the “Aboriginal” question leading up to referendum urged all Toowoomba citizens to vote YES. Toowoomba was part of the overwhelming vote which acknowledged that Australia’s treatment and recognition of its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population needed to change. Much has been achieved, there is much yet to be done.
All Toowoomba residents are invited to remember this historic moment at Civic Square, next to Toowoomba City Library 7 am
