On 23 August 1966, about 200 Gurindji stockmen, domestic workers and their families initiated strike action at Wave Hill Station in the Northern Territory.

In 1968, Hardy published The Unlucky Australians, with a foreword by Donald Horne and contributions by Vincent Lingiari, Aboriginal Union organiser Daniel Dexter, actor Robert Tudawali and others, telling the story of the Gurindji people based on personal narratives, and the Gurindji Strike/Wave Hill walk-off.
