In 2022, the Long Walk came to Tasmania, as part of the Northern Tasmanian Football Association's Aboriginal Round! Rocherlea Football Club and their President, Graeme Gardner, has been the driving force behind the NTFA's Aboriginal Round since 2009. The round celebrates the contributions of Aboriginal footballers to the competition, and is a time to share history and culture.
Paired with the "Little Long Walk", the community spirit at the annual round is vibrant. Hydro Tasmania is very proud to be a sponsor of the event since 2022, and we look forward to support the event for years to come.

We love ideas that change lives. Dress for Success donate professional outfits to women so they can ace their job interview, get back into work, rebuild a life and achieve independence and confidence.
Every year, NAIDOC Week celebrates Aboriginal culture’s history, culture and achievements. In Tasmania, we are surrounded by the influence of this living culture. Our landscape was changed and managed by Aboriginal people for 40,000 years and still bears the signs if you know what to look for.
