Description
A recent chapter in the history wars has returned a colonial-era mystery to the limelight: the existence of tribes of Pygmy Aboriginal peoples in the Cairns and Yarrabah Peninsula regions in Queensland. Despite a general belief in their extinction, their descendants still live around Cairns, as archaeologist Peter McAllister found.
