Add to that list pastor, activist, Father of the Year and Governor of South Australia.
Join us for a Yalinguth Fitzroy special event in the park, on the street then round the fire in the pub.

Start near the Stolen Generations, Atherton Gardens, Gertrude Street
Guided by Jason Tamiru, we'll story walk our way to the Builders Arms hearing about community, the rights movement and the important role of footy and the history of the Fitzroy Stars and MAYSAR. See where Sir Doug started a church for community and also hear about the legendary visit from Muhammed Ali! We'll finish in the courtyard at the Builders Arms with a short film about Sir Doug and some more yarns with his nephew Uncle Bobby Nicholls.
What better way to get amongst the Indigenous Round ahead of the Dreamtime at the ‘G match!
