Description: Journey to the remote shores of Cape York Peninsula and discover the remarkable story of Weipa, a place where ancient Wik culture meets one of the world's largest bauxite mining operations. From the earliest days of contact and the establishment of the Presbyterian mission to the transformative discovery of red cliffs rich with ore, this book traces the layered history of a community shaped by tradition, industry, and change. Exploring the tensions and partnerships between Indigenous custodians, missionaries, and mining giants, it offers a compelling portrait of a town whose past and future remain deeply intertwined with the land itself.
