Palyku Native Title Determination long version

It was a long time coming to achieving native title recognition for the Palyku people and it was an emotional occasion for many as the Federal Court formally recognised the Applicants as native title holders over a determination area of 9,308 square kilometres on 12 March 2019.
The on-Country court hearing was held at Wild Dog Creek - approximately 155 kilometres north of Newman, WA. About 100 people attended the hearing, including representatives from the Federal Court, State and Federal governments, and Traditional Owners.
