Jack Thompson, AM, is a highly claimed Australian actor. He is a major figure in Australian cinema, including the Australian New Wave of the 1970s and 1980s. He is best known as a lead actor in several acclaimed Australian films, including Sunday Too Far Away (1975) and The Man from Snowy River (1982). He first became involved in the Garma Festival, held by the Yothu Yindi Foundation in Northeast Arnhem Land on the Yolŋu (Yolngu) homeland of Gulkula in 1999, where he developed deep and enduring bonds with founding members of the Yothu Yindi band and Yolŋu families related to the Gumatj clan. Since then, he has been a regular presenter and supporter at the Garma Festival and was recognised recently by the Yothu Yindi Foundation with a Yolŋu Hero award in recognition of this service.
