The whole area has a long history of pearling. Both pearls as well as pearl shell.

We saw an inidigenous community with a quirky church with an alter covered in mother of pearl. We also stopped at a local aquatic research centre which had been transformed into an exhibition of local sea creatures.

And finally, we visited a pearl farm, and Fiona extracted a pearl!Lue lisää
