Member for Corangamite Libby Coker was one of the organisers, saying it was great to see the bridge full of supporters.

“When I looked back (towards the bridge), there was still hundreds of people walking onto the bridge,” she said.

“It was amazing, momentum is building.

“It is time to give our First Nations people a voice in the constitution and to give them an advisory role.”

The referendum on the proposed advisory body will be held on October 14.
