Lloyd Walker is a Dharawal and Dhurga Rugby Union player from the La Perouse Aboriginal community in Coastal Sydney. Lloyd played over 250 A-Grade games and represented the Australian Wallabies 8 times. Lloyd’s playstyle is often referred to as ‘genius’ with many often commending his timing, ball skills and quick wit. After retiring Lloyd went on to coach union teams in both Australia and Japan.
After stepping away from sports, Lloyd became a member of the NSW Parole Board and became the longest serving member. In addition to a goal of reducing Indigenous incarceration rates, Lloyd also serves as Deputy Chair of the La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council. Despite now being recognised as one of the greats of Australian Rugby Union, Lloyd Walker didn’t receive recognition for his talents until the end of his career.
