Summary

Description

Torres Strait Islander Ellen Jose left flowers at the burial site at Victoria Markets.

Tunnerminnerwait and Maulboyheenner were the first judicial executions in Melbourne on January 20, 1842, for leading an indigenous resistance to the European settlement of Melbourne and surrounds in 1841. The other three resistance fighters were female: Planobeena, Pyterrunner and Trucannini, who were all exiled to Flinders Island.

On January 20, 2012 about 150 people gathered to commemorate the lives of these freedom fighters and push for a permanent monument to be erected in their honour. Speeches were made after a solemn welcome to country was given. A march then occurred to the Victoria Markets, the site where they were buried. Flowers were laid on the footpath.
