Civil Liberties rally march route, Brisbane, 1968

Civil Liberties rally march route, Brisbane, 1968. This map captures the divisions between old and new left within a purely spatial context. While Brisbane’s New Left required a large map of the city outlining a precise march route, no such map is extant from North Queensland’s strike waves, due simply to the fact that these struggles were highly localised affairs in small towns, often based around only a few streets. Organisation however appears as vital in both instances, with the almost comical march starting time of 12:37 indicating a high degree of organisational rigidity among Brisbane’s youth protesters.
