Summary

This poster from 1988 was designed by Sue Miller for a music event at North Melbourne Town Hall organised by the Aboriginal Rights Solidarity Group. 'Bash against the bicentennial' protested against the bicentenary celebrations which marked 200 years since the arrival of the First Fleet of British convict ships to Australia in 1788.
