The college administrator from Perth has spent a year (and eight pairs of shoes) walking across the country ‘to find the truth of Indigenous Australia’. His walk was to highlight the plight of Indigenous Australians and it was here, more than anywhere else, that he felt his ancestral spirits by his side. For Pryor, Uluru is “the heartland, where all the songlines connect you”, and his arrival was a moment of enormous personal impact. Pryor set out to “find the truth of Indigenous Australia” – and the reality, he says, is far worse than he had imagined. For there, Pryor went into the settlement he says most characterised the inequality of the lives of Indigenous Australians living in remote communities, Mutitjulu.
