Isabel Flick (Aboriginal activist)
Isabel Ann Flick OBE(1928-2002) was an Australian Aboriginal rights activist, social worker and teacher.〔 She was recognized as a leader not only of the Aboriginal community of Australia, but as a spokesperson for environmental issues in her hometown of Collarenebri, in New South Wales. She was known as a powerful and inspirational speaker. Isabel Flick is said to have had “many lives” because of her many experiences.〔
==Early Years==
Isabel Flick’s father was Mick Flick, who was born in the 1890’s and grew up in the Aboriginal community in Miambla. His mother died very young so he was brought up by his grandmother. Mick Flick joined the Australian army in 1914 after running away from his job. As he was too young to enlist he lied about his age, and as Aboriginals did not have birth certificates he was accepted into the army. He was sent to the Western Front only six weeks after signing up. He fought in the Somme Valley but was injured twice and so sent to a hospital in England. On his return home from the war, Mick Flick met Celia Flick and they were married. Celia Flick grew up in the Aboriginal community of Goondiwindi in Queensland, Australia. They moved to the town of Collarenebri where they lived for a few years. Mick Flick worked on a farm and Celia lived at home and worked at their families station. The police constantly monitored their whereabouts so they needed to move from time to time to avoid being separated from each other. This was a common strategy amongst Aboriginal communities at the time as the government monitored their activities.
Isabel Flick was born in 1928 in Gooniwindi, Queensland, Australia . She then moved and grew up in an Aboriginal riverbank camp in the town of Collarenebri in northwestern New South Wales,〔 on the bank of the Barwon River. This town was seen as a border between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, as Aboriginals would experience hostility from the non-Aboriginal population when going into the main street. The Flick family moved around a lot, just as Mick and Celia Flick had, as a way of “keeping away from the system"imposed by the government in Australia. Both of Flick’s parents feared their children being taken away from them. Isabel Flick was always known for making trouble as a child, although she was a shy girl. She was known for being an encouraging and moving person when she spoke. At the age of 10 she was barred from formal education and even threatened with removal by the Protection Board. This was done in accordance with the ‘Dog Act’. This sparked her campaign for Aboriginal rights from her experience with such discrimination and mistreatment.
