Mick Daly and Gladys Namagu information


Mick Daly and Gladys Namagu on their wedding day in 1960

The Mick (Michael) Daly and Mary (Gladys) Namagu were an interracial couple in the Northern Territory of Australia who faced discrimination when they sought to marry in 1959. They were refused permission to marry by Government officials, including the then Director of Welfare Harry Giese, and their plight was covered nationally and sparked public sympathy. Australian federal and state politicians became involved in their case and it attracted the attention of the United Nations.[1]

They were dubbed the "Outback Romeo and Juliet" and comparisons have been drawn between them and Mildred and Richard Loving from the United States.[1]
