On September 8 1967 leaders from the Society for Democratic Action (SDA) addressed a mass meeting of University of Queensland staff and students. Four thousand students and staff, approximately half the campus population, marched without a permit from this forum at St. Lucia, up Coronation Drive to Roma Street. When confronted with Police, the marchers linked arms and sat down on the road. Over 100 student protesters were arrested, and many were left bruised and bloodied in the clash with the Police.
