Mabo Day is marked annually on 3 June. It commemorates Mer Island man Eddie Koiki Mabo and his successful efforts to overturn the legal fiction of terra nullius, or ‘land belonging to on-one’. The Mabo decision was a watershed moment in Australian history. In addition to overturning a longheld colonial myth, it paved the way for subsequent native title claims.
