19.01.2022 JOCK Austin 30 year anniversary of his passing - Sunday 3rd May 2020 Please share

18.01.2022 Today marks the 30 year anniversary since the passing of Herbert 'Jock' Austin. Jock was a founding member of MAYSAR, formerly known as the Fitzroy Stars Aboriginal Community Youth Club Gymnasium. It was set up with a goal of getting youth in to a positive environment and helping the community as much as possible. A strong leader in the community, Jock's legacy continues to live on through his family, friends and through the continued operation of MAYSAR and the Fitzroy Stars... Football Netball Club. Take a moment today to reflect on Jock's life and if you can, please share your memories with us by leaving a written or video message in the comment below. On the 26th of January this year the Yarra City Council held an event at Bargoonga Nganjin, North Fitzroy Library in dedication to Jock. We thank the Yarra City Council for paying tribute to the legacy and creating this video for us to share.
