THE COOLBAROO CLUB7pm Friday 27th June Entry $5
Cheap meal available from 6:30pm
An award-winning documentary about post-war race relations in Australia. For 14 years, from 1946 to 1960, in the city of Perth, Western Australia, the Coolbaroo Club was a meeting place and a community focus for the local Aboriginal community.
A curfew system excluded Aboriginal people from Perth’s CBD after 6pm. Police eagerly enforced this and other Apartheid laws including banning fraternisation between black and white.
The Coolbaroo Club in East Perth became not only an important place where Aboriginal People and their supporters could socialise, it also became a place where they could politically organise as well.
This documentary includes many of the club’s members telling their own stories.
