A Better Road for Broome B
A BETTE NG R DI S L TA I T U E A better road for Broome B O U A I R L P A R L T AN S The Broome-Cape Leveque Road is the main transport link through the Dampier Peninsula FO AU R WESTERN providing essential access to Aboriginal communities, pastoral stations, pearling industries and tourist destinations. The Liberal Government will seal the remaining unsealed sections of road, ensuring there is year-long safe passage along its entire length and creating major new tourism opportunities for Broome operators and Aboriginal cultural tourism. The Liberals support the continued growth of the Western Australian economy by improving the efficiency, safety and reliability of regional roads. Fast Facts • The Broome-Cape Leveque Road is approximately 200km long and provides access to the major Aboriginal communities of Beagle Bay, Lombadina, Djarindjin and One Arm Point, which have an estimated combined population of around 1200 people, as well as many smaller Aboriginal communities. • Between 2002 and 2007 the northernmost 100km section of the road was upgraded and sealed. • Approximatly 90km of the road remains unsealed and has deteriorated, becoming depressed, badly corrugated and potholed, making the road hazardous and subject to lengthy closures during the wet season. • A sealed all-weather road will improve safety, accessibility and operational efficiencies. Opening Opportunities The Dampier Peninsula is an extraordinary place with beaches, unique woodlands, tidal flats and mangrove creeks. Its waters are home to turtles, dugongs, dolphins and whales. Sealing the road will give tourists from Broome safe access to new tourism experiences; gradually open opportunities for Aboriginal communities along the Dampier Peninsula and One Arm Point; and support existing accommodation and cultural tourism enterprises. -

In this paper I use evidence from place names, cultural ties, language names, mythology, and oral histories to discuss the locations and affiliations of several contested groups in the area. Of particular interest are the Mayala and Oowini groups. In doing this work I build on techniques exemplified and refined by Luise Hercus in her beautiful studies of Central Australian language, land, and culture. -
