A march along King William Street in Adelaide has tried to boost awareness about the need to tackle alcohol and drug problems in Aboriginal communities.

The so-called sober walk went from Victoria Square to Parliament House in North Terrace, where a number of speakers addressed the rally.

Major Sumner from the Aboriginal Sobriety Group says more education is needed to help stop alcohol-fuelled problems.

“This is about supporting each other against alcohol, against drugs, against violence in our communities, against all the negative issues that alcohol brings to communities,” he said.
