Newcastle University forces Gooris off land. In acquiring the land in 1963 it participates in the forced removal of Gooris from the site. In April, the Newcastle City Council orders the removal of nineteen squatters, mainly Aborigines. It takes eighteen months of effort by the City Council, the University, the Department of Education, the Crown Solicitor and the Aborigines Welfare Board (they have to provide alternative housing) to reach a solution (Wright, 1992: 84; Arwarbukarl Cultural Resource Association, ACRA)
