On 13 August 1983, people near Uluru went out expecting an ordinary night and instead found themselves caught up in sudden and extreme violence. In a matter of minutes, lives were lost, others were seriously injured, and many people were left trying to process something that made no sense at the time.

In this episode, I go through what led up to that night, how events unfolded, and the court process that followed. I also spend time on what came after, because for many people connected to it, that’s where the real damage sat. Long after the incident itself, survivors, families, and witnesses were left dealing with trauma that affected their mental health, relationships, and everyday lives.

More than forty years on, the effects are still felt by those directly impacted, making this a story that continues to carry weight well beyond the night it happened.
