- Charles Perkins was a key player in the Freedom Ride, exposing discrimination and segregation.
- His peaceful protest educated Australians and this resulted in widespread change and greater equality and a reduction in racial discrimination.
- This was instrumental in later reforms which granted greater rights and freedoms for Indigenous Australians.
- Indigenous Australians were segregated from White Australians in living areas, hospitals, seperate seating areas 'down the front' in cinemeas and were refuses entry to local swimming pools, such as in Moree, to reduce contact between the two races. (Cameron, et.al 2000 in Poon, 2012).
- Perkins was a co-founder and president of the Student Action for Aboriginies and the University of Sydney in 1964 (Taffe, 2008 in Poon 2012).
- The aim of information gathering later evolved into picketing against discrimination and segregation in such towns such as Walgett, Moree and Kempsey where racial tensions were highest. (Swirk.com, 2012 in Poon 2012).
- The students protested at the Moree baths by attempting to accompany six Aboriginal children into the pool (Taffe, 2008 in Poon 2012).
- They attempted to reverse the dominant ideology that Indigenous peoples were "dirty, lived in shabby conditions and...drank to excess" (Manson, 2007 in Poon, 2012).
- The Riders were spat, 'booed and catcalled' at and the students were carred away from the area by Mayor William Lloly, pool manager Mr Don Ford, councilors and police (Spalding, 1965 in Taffe, 2008 in Poon, 2012).
- These scenes were broadcasted by national and international media, which led to increasing support and interest in the question of racism against Indigenous Australians.
- Publicity of the problems facing Indigenous Australians achieved by the Freedom Ride, aided the 'yes' campaign during the 1967 referendum
- The Freedom Rides had assisted in decreasing previous white 'ignorance' and generated a widespread sense of fair play, goodwill and suport (Mason, 2007 in Poon 2012).
- This support amounted in the success of the historic 1967 referendum with the 'Yes' vote of 90.77% (Cameron et.al, 2000 in Poon, 2012).
