Richard Perin, Koori Knockout 2025 (BLACK & WHITE 2025)

The NSW Koori Rugby League Knockout carnival is one of the biggest Indigenous gatherings in Australia. The event typically takes place over the October long weekend. The Koori Knockout not only showcases talented rugby league players but also serves as a gathering for Indigenous communities to celebrate culture, heritage, and community pride. For a few young aboriginal children, success at this event is seen as “a way out” from a life of poverty and disadvantage.
