The Mabo decision that led to native title rights for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples has been celebrated at an event in Melbourne.

 

A family-friendly concert was held at Federation Square for Mabo Day, with community groups marking the occasion posting messages on social media.

 

On June 3, 1992,  the Meriam people of the Murray Islands were entitled to the possession, occupation, use and end enjoyment of the islands, setting a precedent for native title cases throughout Australia.
