The Australian Open takes place on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people.

Today is Evonne Goolagong Cawley Day at the Australian Open, a day they have to acknowledge and celebrate the indigenous peoples of Australia, and their impact on both tennis and culture as a whole.

I am not Indigenous Australian but i do ask that any of you reading this take this as an opportunity to inform yourself about the indigenous peoples of Australia, as they are a population that gets frequently overlooked both in Australia but especially overseas.

If you are here you almost certainly follow tennis and I’d like to remind you that Indigenous Australians are intrinsically part of tennis history as two former world number ones are proud indigenous women; Evonne Goolagong Cawley (for which the day is named) is Wiradjuri and Ash Barty is Ngaragu.
