One of the biggest land handovers in Queensland Australia’s history took place yesterday when more than 630,000 hectares was given back to the Olkola people of Cape York.
This was brought about by 30 years of campaigning and negotiation from Olkola Aboriginal Corporation chairman Michael Ross.
Mr Ross was “out bush” when media attempted to contact him but in a written statement he said the Olkola had already explored the economic benefits that could come from opportunities such as tourism and sustainable pastoralism.
