==Background==
The song was co-written by Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody,〔 and is based on the story of The Gurindji Strike and Vincent Lingiari.〔 It describes how the Gurindji people's claim sparked the Indigenous land rights movement. The protest led to the Commonwealth Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976. The Act gave Indigenous people freehold title to traditional lands in the Northern Territory and the power of veto over mining and development on those lands. In 1975, 3,236 km² of land was handed back to the Gurindji people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blood Brothers – From Little Things Big Things Grow )〕 Carmody described writing the song:
It was recorded by Paul Kelly and the Messengers for their 1991 album ''Comedy'' released by Mushroom Records. Kelly included the song on his solo albums, ''Live, May 1992'' and ''Songs from the South: Paul Kelly's Greatest Hits'' in 1997. Carmody recorded it on his 1993 album ''Bloodlines'' supplying vocals, guitar and didgeridoo, Kelly supplied vocals, guitar and harmonica, with numerous other musicians. This Carmody and Kelly version was released as a single in 1993 but did not chart. Also in 1993, an SBS television documentary, ''Bloodbrothers'', examined Carmody and his music including this song.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blood Brothers – "From Little Things Big Things Grow" )〕
