We flew to One Arm Point or Ardyaloon at the tip of the Dampier Peninsula after visiting the Horizontal Water Falls. Before boarding our bus we watched as a Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) plane set off down this dirt air strip. They were transporting a patient to hospital in Broome and it makes you appreciate the wonderful service the RFDS provide to these isolated communities. The trip by road to One Arm Point takes about three hours from Broome in a 4WD.
A member of the local Aboriginal community conducted our tour of the Trochus Hatchery and aquaculture centre located at One Arm Point. She was very interesting with great information about the sea creatures in the tanks and their importance to the local community. We even saw black and white angel fish which are only found in the waters off Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
I purchased a beautifully polished trochus shell from the aquaculture centre. These trochus shells can only be collected by the local Aboriginal people. They come in a variety of colours - of course mine is green (my favourite colour).
One Arm Point has views over the Buccaneer Archipelago and you can watch as the huge tides come rushing past the many islands. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this Aboriginal Community.
