Spaces of Survival: Aboriginal Reserves and Ration Depots in North East Victoria
Megan Carter
This presentation uncovers the deeply personal and often painful history of Aboriginal reserves and ration depots in North East Victoria. These places, created through policies of control and exclusion, disrupted lives, families, and connection to Country. Yet within these imposed boundaries, Aboriginal people found ways to endure, resist, and hold onto culture and identity. This is a story of survival against the odds—a testament to strength, resilience, and the unbroken spirit of community in the face of injustice.
Megan Carter is a Waywurru researcher, historian and storyteller. She has been collecting stories, images, places and biographies of Indigenous people in the NorthEast of Victoria for over 10 years.
