Freedom Ride Blue Plaque - Kempsey NSW | ILoveAU

Visitors can discover the stories behind the people, places and events that have helped shape NSW - where the history happened. A Blue Plaque visit offers more than sightseeing. It creates a direct connection between place and story, turning everyday locations into places of discovery. Each plaque reveals a unique piece of history, encouraging visitors to explore local areas from a new perspective and uncover stories they may never have known.

This blue plaque commemorates the 1965 Freedom Ride where a group of university students journey on a bus through country New South Wales to expose and challenge discrimination faced by Aboriginal people.

The 1965 Freedom Ride Blue Plaque Trail stops at 8 significant locations along the original 1965 Freedom Ride bus route.
