Spent the day yesterday at One Arm Point. Interesting fact- One Arm Point has the second highest tides in the world, after Nova Scotia.
Started off visiting the Trochus Hatchery. Barry, who runs the joint, also has an aquaculture centre going. He had a stone fish in one of the aquariums which terrified the kids (and me). He has really pretty Trochus shells and jewellery which he sells there too.
After that we went to the Malaya Native Title Determination. Our friend Tif works for the Kimberly Land Council, and for the past 20 years the KLC have been working with the Bardi Jawa people to win back native title. They finally got it yesterday!! There was a Federal Court set up on Middle Beach with a judge and a bunch of lawyers flown in for the day to legally hand back the land. Some of the Elders got up and gave emotional speeches about their ancestors and what the give back would do for them.
Had to come back to One Arm Point today. The beaches here are just magical. Beautiful water, and fresh oysters you can pick off the rocks.
