I also read Totem Poles and Tea by Hughina Harold, a teacher and nurse who worked in the village for 2 years in the 1930s.
The Mamalillikulla people have left their village and now it is being covered by berry plants, wild mint and old fruit trees.
From the sea the location of the village is marked by the bright white midden shell beach.
Closer inspection of the beach reveals much beach glass and pieces of pottery and porcelain.
I picked up a few mementos and plan to incorporate them into a work about my visit.
