In Eddie Mabo's career, there were a lot of ups and downs. When he needed to reavel from Melbourne to Brisbane he had a lot of trouble. Also to add on he had to look out fot his lawyers when he needed them and also to be able to be involved in political errands. In those political situations, he was attending conferences and in those conferences he was making a lot of important decisions while contributing to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders people in general.
