The emerald-green mangroves that fringe Cooya Beach have always protected the land on which Linc Walker's family have lived forever. Beyond the beach is a vast shallow sea, pot-holed with the lairs of sting rays. In the distance, a lone Aboriginal fisherman walks, as if on water, grasping a long bamboo spear. This place has fed my family for generations Linc says. As we head back onto the tide flats, we're reminded, through this appreciation of Linc's home, that everything from the ocean, to the mountains behind are part of our world. We all share Linc's cultural responsibility to maintain our own connection to country and care for it for generations to come.

Links Quoted in the Episode:

The Kuku Yalanji people continued to resist the invasion of their lands by the miners, pastoralists and timber getters. Frontier violence in the region was a frequent occurrence during the 1870s, resulting in hundreds of casualties[12].
During the 1880s there was a gradual change in north Queensland in the government policy of taking the country by lethal force. Instead, Aboriginal people were removed off their country on to missions, where they would not trouble the settlers and provided a cheap source of labour. This policy change resulted in a decision to establish two Aboriginal reserves in the Cooktown district; one at Cape Bedford and one at Bloomfield River.
