In Week 5 of the Bimblebox/Youth Verdict case the Land Court will travel to take on-country evidence from First Nations Peoples. This will start in Cairns on Monday 16th and continue on Erub Island (below) and Poruma Island in the Torres Strait.
It is the first time the Land Court has done this.
As with the site visit to Bimblebox, it is hoped that the reality of the place and likely impacts will help understanding of the issues involved.
We hope to be given and share a brief profile of the visit at some stage during the week.
