To commemorate the walk-off on August 26 this year, descendants and Indigenous rights supporters followed the pilgrammage to Gurindji, 450km southwest of Katherine.
This time, they numbered more than 2000.
The 1966 walk-off protested against the conditions imposed on the workers by the station owners, under direction of Lord Vestey.
That dispute lasted seven years and resulted in the Gurindji people being given land titles in 1974. It was the first legislation of its kind, acknowledging the traditional relationship to country.

Between August 26 and 28, Indigenous people groups from all over the country made the trip to the Northern Territory site, to commemorate what has become known as the Freedom Day Festival.
This year, the gathering brought together a number of campaigners for a voice to parliament.
Co-founder of Deadly Inspiring Youth Doing Good (DIYDG), 23-year-old Daniel Rosendale was among those gathered.
The DIYDG group had travelled by tour bus from Cairns, Queensland to take part in the festival.
"It's just amazing, you know, obviously, we're pushing for a referendum in 2023," Mr Rosendale said.
"We need to get everyone onboard because it's going to be a big movement to change Australia for the better. We're going to reconnect and re-unite Australia for [an Indigenous] voice that's enshrined in our constitution."
The campaign is seeking to see a representative body established to provide feedback to the government on legislative matters affecting the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told the gathering at the Garma festival in July that he would be seeking to hold a referendum on the matter by the end of his first term in parliament.
