Winnie Quagliotti
- ... that when Winnie Quagliotti received a land title in 1987, it was the first time an Aboriginal organisation owned land in Victoria since William Barak witnessed the sale of Melbourne in 1835? Source: West, Rosemary (10 August 1988). "Death of a leader". The Age. Melbourne, Victoria. p. 23. "Her great-great-uncle, William Barak, had watched his father and grandfather sign the treaty with Batman. Mrs. Quagliotti recalled this last year when, as chairwoman of the Aboriginal Housing Board of Victoria, she received the title to its Gertrude Street office: the first Victorian property title to be handed to an Aboriginal organisation."
- ALT1:... that Winnie Quagliotti protested against the Australian Bicentenary by dressing in a possum skin cloak and throwing a wattle wreath into the sea at Princes Pier? Source:Australian Dictionary of Biography [1]: "Garbed in a possum-skin cloak, and daubed with ash, she protested against the arrival of the tall ships in Melbourne as part of the bicentenary celebrations in 1988."; Hutton, Barbara (22 January 1988). "A grief too great to join the party". The Age. Melbourne, Victoria. p. 13. "Winnie Quagliotti led Aborigines in laying a wreath in the sea off Princes Pier when the Tall Ships were there."; West, Rosemary (10 August 1988). "Death of a leader". The Age. Melbourne, Victoria. p. 23. "An image that will stay with many of us is of Winnie Quagliotti in the traditional mourning dress of her tribe, a possum-skin cloak, her face daubed with ash, casting a wreath of wattle into the bay in a peaceful protest against the tall ships' arrival early this year."
