Memories of the Waterdale Road Vietnam protest marches, September 1970, Part 2
The Waterdale Road Vietnam protest marches took place in West Heidelberg, Melbourne, on 11, 16 and 23 September 1970. The first one, attended by about 70 students from La Trobe University, was violently broken up by police.
The second march, in defiance of state repression, took place on 16 September and is the subject of this brief documentary.
It draws on the reminiscences and reflections of four participants - Brian Pola, Larry Abramson, Robbo Bennetts and Peter Cochrane - recorded by Barry York for an oral history project about the demonstrations.
Fifty years on, the Waterdale Road marches remain significant as part of the struggle for free speech and the right to protest in Australia.
Nineteen students were arrested on the second march, and others beaten by police who drew guns to make arrests. The Inspector in charge of the police stated after the police violence: "They got some baton today and they'll get a lot more in the future".
