3
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,080
I'm Alick Tipoti.

4
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,680
I'm an artist.

5
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,760
I have four
beautiful children…

6
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,680
..with my beautiful wife,
Taumatini.

7
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,320
She is from Rarotonga
in the Cook Islands.

8
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,760
I grew up on Badu.

9
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,740
It's in the western islands
of the Torres Strait

10
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,400
between Papua New Guinea
and the Australian mainland.

11
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,960
A dot in the
western Pacific Ocean.

12
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,400
OK.

13
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,320
It's on!

14
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,600
Alright, let's make magic.

15
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,360
- My home language
is Kala Lagaw Ya…

16
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,520
..of the Maluyligal nation
of Zenadh Kes.

17
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,920
You may know Zenadh Kes
by another name…

18
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,820
..Torres Strait.

19
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:21,820
And now there's a lot
of interest

20
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:24,880
in the art and culture
from the Torres Strait too.

21
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,160
My art has found its way to many
galleries around the world.

22
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,880
It means sometimes I have to
travel to faraway places.

23
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,260
But wherever I go…

24
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,280
..the ocean keeps me
connected to Badu.

25
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,580
One of the most amazing museums
I have ever seen

26
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,580
is on the edge
of the cliffs in Monaco

27
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,680
known as the Temple of the Sea.

28
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,700
Monaco's Oceanographic Museum

29
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,900
was built almost 120 years ago

30
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,600
by Prince Albert I of Monaco.

31
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,160
A great, great adventurer
and seafarer.

32
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,860
Albert I believed that art,
science and nature

33
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,660
held the key
to our planet's future,

34
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,820
and I've heard that
Albert's great, great grandson,

35
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,920
Albert II, is following
in his ancestor's footsteps.

36
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,420
My first memory was not only
going to the museum

37
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,580
and my sister Caroline and I
started going there

38
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,680
when we were two years old.

39
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,220
That's the advantage
of having…

40
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,540
..one of the world's finest
oceanographic museums

41
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,260
virtually down
the block from us.

42
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,420
And so we would go there
and visit the aquarium

43
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,640
and visit the different
collections on a regular basis.

44
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,240
- I was in Monaco
for the Taba Naba exhibition.

45
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,840
There was art from many
Australian Indigenous artists.

46
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,020
I had my bronze sculpture
dugong there

47
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,900
but I think the turtle design

48
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,020
on top of the roof
of the Oceanographic museum

49
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,580
be really capture,

50
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,880
put Torres Strait art on the map
from a different perspective.

51
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,440
This is the Oceanographic Museum
of Monaco we're talking about…

52
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,180
..and it's a big space
that they put that work on

53
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:07,600
for the world to see, you know.

54
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:12,380
Me and my boys were there,

55
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,200
my Zugubal dancers,
we probably performed there.

56
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,940
I think Alick Tipoti has an art

57
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:29,180
which is very strongly related
to his ancestor's view.

58
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:31,460
That's the reason
why we organised

59
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,940
the Taba Naba exhibition
of Indigenous artists

60
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,560
who did not lose their
relationship with the nature.

61
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,900
- At the opening night,
after our performance,

62
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,460
everybody else dressed up
in suits.

63
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,020
We were just in
flower shirts and jeans.

64
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,920
Just being islanders
in a foreign country.

65
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,120
Meeting and greeting people.

66
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,100
Obviously I had to meet
the Prince

67
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,540
in front of the work
that was framed.

68
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,800
The same work
that was on the roof.

69
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,180
I was just talking
to Prince Albert

70
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,660
as though he was just
a normal guy

71
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,840
and I may have said to him
that…

72
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,820
"..Thank you for having me here
in your country.

73
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,880
"Maybe one day you can come
and visit my island."

74
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,460
You know, I think they took that
and, you know, parked it.

75
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,580
It was an exciting moment.

76
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,780
Once in a lifetime to invite
someone of that stature

77
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,820
to come to your place,

78
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,220
sit down, relax away from his
schedule and his lifestyle

79
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,520
and come and you share
your lifestyle with him.

80
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,060
But why would Albert of Monaco

81
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,160
come to the other side
of the earth?

82
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,920
Monaco is very exciting…

83
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,900
..but when I go home to Badu

84
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,280
I realise how special
it is here.

85
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,800
It's what inspires me
to do my work.

86
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,380
Everything I do
in my art practice

87
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,480
is based on ancient time.

88
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,840
Long before my time.

89
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,400
Long before
my grandfather's time.

90
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,980
Long before my great,
great grandfather's time.

91
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,420
So it's more the proper
ancient time.

92
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,060
Long time ago.

93
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,980
When I'm carving lino,

94
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,980
it's all about traditional
patterns or cultural patterns.

95
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,080
We call it lago mineral
island patterns.

96
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,860
It's lino printing
where we print on paper.

97
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,140
But it's an introduced technique

98
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,600
because obviously
this works like a stamp.

99
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,860
It's the best way
to obtain that same feeling

100
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,360
that our ancestors be do
on artefacts from long time ago.

101
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,920
I live the life today…

102
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,960
..but I abide by ancient
cultural protocol.

103
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,420
So it got to a stage where
I experienced many encounters

104
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:58,140
and to the point
where I could feel that

105
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,540
it was not just one spirit here,
it was more than one.

106
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,660
So it was pretty scary at first
but then, like I said,

107
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,100
with the speaking in language

108
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:13,460
it really connects me
to those spiritual ancestors

109
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:16,340
and strengthens
my way of thinking

110
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,680
you know, guiding me
through my art practice.

111
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,500
The conch shell
or the trumpet shell,

112
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,160
we call them bu shell or bu.

113
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:34,400
That one plays many important
role in our language.

114
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,040
Not just us,
all throughout the Pacific.

115
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,080
When we blow the bu shell…

116
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,160
..we are actually
acknowledging the winds.

117
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,320
Kuki go north west…

118
00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:53,880
..Naygay go north east…

119
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,880
..Woewraw, south east…

120
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,440
..and Zey, south west.

121
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,640
Spiritual beings, Zugubal…

122
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,200
..they control the weather…

123
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,760
..thunder, lightning…

124
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,360
..they control the wind,
the rain, the currents.

125
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,440
We are seafarers.

126
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,840
Our ancestors were seafarers.

127
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,260
When we are fishing, hunting,

128
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,280
we acknowledge the knowledge
that has been passed down to us.

129
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,220
The reefs are us,
we are the reefs.

130
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,400
They look after us
and we look after them.

131
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,320
To be a good hunter…

132
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,080
..there needs to be strong
connection with the hunted.

133
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,580
Like myself, Edmund Tamwoy,
recently returned to Lap Badu

134
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:30,580
after many years away.

135
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:34,200
He's passionate
about the crayfish industry.

136
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,000
His wife is my cousins sister…

137
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,180
..and his young sons,

138
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,440
they are my waduams,
I am their uncle.

139
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,820
- I'm learning how to catch
the crays

140
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,180
and I'm learning
how you approach them.

141
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,460
When the tide's coming in

142
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:57,580
you don't go catch it
from the way the tide is coming

143
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:00,280
'cause they'll make the dust
and scare them away.

144
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,860
I'm hoping for like,
lots of crays

145
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,220
and big ones so we get money

146
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,720
and I help my dad
with the business.

147
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,980
There are great impacts

148
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,380
in the waters
of the Torres Strait

149
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:16,580
in the last few years.

150
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:18,880
In the fishing industry
as a business operator.

151
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,460
I'm considering
the environmental changes

152
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:27,300
so that we can sustain
and manage

153
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,660
and protect our sea country
for the future

154
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,980
to ensure that these reefs
and corals are preserved

155
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,080
for generations coming.

156
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,960
The reason I make my art…

157
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,160
..it's all about
cultural preservation.

158
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,200
That's what motivates me
to do what I do.

159
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,880
I am not a Christian.

160
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:17,500
I can't see myself forgiving
those early missionaries

161
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,720
for forbidding language
and culture of my people.

162
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,240
Christianity came to
the Torres Strait in 1871.

163
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,160
The price we paid was
our language and our culture.

164
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,180
Though there are many islanders

165
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,000
whose ancestors come from
many other parts of the Pacific,

166
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,720
we are Melanesian.

167
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,780
The European name
for the islands

168
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,880
came from
the Spanish explorer…

169
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,860
..Captain Luiz vas des Torres,

170
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,400
on his way through the Strait
to Manila in 1606.

171
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,500
Pearling began in the 1840s

172
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,420
and over the next 50 years

173
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,360
thousands of people
came to the islands.

174
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,060
At one stage, there were
more than 100 pearl luggers

175
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,300
working the region.

176
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,640
Badu was a leader
in the industry.

177
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:40,400
These islands were annexed
by Queensland in 1879.

178
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,420
Things got progressively worse

179
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,500
with the restrictions
on interisland travel

180
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,760
and the introduction
of curfews and segregation.

181
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,260
How sweet it was a century later

182
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,940
that it was a
Torres Strait Island man

183
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,480
who changed the course of
Australia's modern history.

184
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,300
In 1992,
Uncle Eddie Koiki Mabo, from Mer

185
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,900
won a landmark High Court case

186
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,800
leading to land rights
for all Indigenous Australians.

187
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,660
I like to think
Uncle Koiki was a warrior

188
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,240
just like his ancestors.

189
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,880
- This place
reminds me of my ancestors.

190
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,960
That was head-hunters time.

191
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,700
- Aunty Geiza,
is a relative of mine.

192
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,960
She is a strong personality
in our community.

193
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,500
- My great, great,
great grandfather

194
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:49,920
beheaded the last Zaro
just in front of Dognor.

195
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:55,580
Back in those days,
there were war parties,

196
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,780
there were canoes…

197
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:03,260
..coming to fight here
and beheading was like a trophy.

198
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,360
A trophy for them.

199
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,060
All my ancestors here,

200
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,160
who have roamed
and lived here as nomads…

201
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,480
..and…

202
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,900
I'm gonna…

203
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,080
..I'm gonna cry because I feel
their presence here today.

204
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,360
- I have the honour to welcome
to the United Nations…

205
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,560
..on behalf
of the General Assembly…

206
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:15,820
..His Serene Highness
Prince Albert II of Monaco.

207
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,220
I was not really optimistic

208
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,540
about the Prince to go
to the other side of the earth

209
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,740
and to visit
the Tipoti's family.

210
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,100
- I knew a bit
of the geography

211
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,300
and I saw Badu island on a map.

212
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,480
I learned about Badu
principally through Alick.

213
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,620
When Alick did present me with
an oral invitation,

214
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,900
I thought it was wonderful

215
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:17,000
and I said of course, I'd love
to come when the time is right.

216
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,340
The prince
willingness was very strong,

217
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,000
and he sort of bent his agenda.

218
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,500
The buzz is in the air

219
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,720
and the Prince of Monaco
is coming to Badu.

220
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,540
It was suddenly announced
that he was coming to Badu.

221
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,860
At first they can't believe it,
they think it's a joke,

222
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,180
but now it's,
people have realised

223
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,100
because they've heard it
from me, the prince is coming.

224
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,020
It was a really big surprise.

225
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:00,380
We're going to have some dancing

226
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,620
and we're going to have some
kai kai for him when him come

227
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,240
so he can really feel
the welcoming from my community.

228
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,100
- We're making these leis
for our visitors,

229
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,340
Prince Albert
and his team from Monaco.

230
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,180
We're gonna make nice lei.

231
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,840
He will be very happy
to receive these.

232
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:23,860
I think this one's good
for the Prince, eh?

233
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:24,900
Yeah.

234
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:25,980
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

235
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,340
And it's your first one too,
well done, darling.

236
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,440
Beautiful

237
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,900
Now, come here,
everyone, come here.

238
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,700
I want to speak
about something, come.

239
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,700
Closer.

240
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,540
You know tomorrow we go there,
airport, right?

241
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:51,780
And the prince will come.

242
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,140
Then we'll do the kai kai
there tomorrow night.

243
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:00,780
On Friday…

244
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,340
Well, I think it's important
when people of such stature

245
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,060
visit our community,

246
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,820
I think to have them participate
in planting a coconut tree

247
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,100
or some sort of aikyoik,

248
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,940
that we'll remember that visit
for a long time to come.

249
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,340
And I can say to my children,

250
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:27,260
that when Prince of Monaco visit
he planted these coconut trees,

251
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:29,740
so when him come,

252
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,500
we'll make sure
he does that here

253
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,420
and yeah, look forward to it.

254
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,420
I think he'll be more than happy
to do that as well.

255
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:39,980
How come him come here for?

256
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,380
- Him come because
him want to visit Daddy,

257
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,500
but you know how come?

258
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,500
Every year, every year
the climate it change,

259
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,100
the sun become more hot,

260
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,180
the wave,
the tide become more high

261
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:54,580
and rock is becoming?

262
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:55,780
- Sand.
- The sand.

263
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,380
It can destroy the island.

264
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,560
It can come slowly,
water will enter.

265
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,380
You know, my eldest daughter
Dagum, them 16 now.

266
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,500
I think they might be
too young really

267
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,220
to understand the impact we got
from this climate change.

268
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,840
They never seen what was before.

269
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,420
When we were small…

270
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,340
,
the reefs,

271
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,340
,
the corals,

272
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,900
they were different
from today.

273
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,100
Now it's harmed, you know,
because the warm,

274
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,020
global warming it's different,

275
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:33,140
some parts of the reef
are dying.

276
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,260
So we see the changes
and we are only in our 40s,

277
00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:38,780
I'm only in my 40s,
I've seen the changes.

278
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,020
But the elders before me
who are in their 70s,

279
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:44,160
oh, they've seen
more big changes.

280
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:35,820
Of course, I love travelling,

281
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,340
love to discover new places
around the world

282
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,820
and this was I think,
a unique opportunity

283
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,540
to go to a part of the world,

284
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,640
and a part of Australia
that is…

285
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,760
..still relatively
not well known.

286
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,600
- Today it's a big day,
Prince is arriving.

287
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,000
We don't know what to expect
because…

288
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,940
..whether there's gonna be
high security,

289
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,220
you know, Prince is Prince
and bodyguards.

290
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,700
First time for someone so
important to come to the island.

291
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,420
Look at you, beautiful.

292
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,520
- You ready?
- Everyone ready?

293
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,700
- He'll come in his jet
to Horn Island first,

294
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,820
then on Skytrans,

295
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,740
he will land
at the Badu airstrip

296
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,840
at Wakaid village.

297
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,540
- This is for real,
Prince Albert will be on Badu,

298
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,900
come along and see for yourself,

299
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,200
we've got a real life Prince
on the island.

300
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,380
- The elders
are really excited too

301
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,920
because, mothers especially,
all them aunties…

302
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,460
..all only read
about the prince and his mother

303
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,620
and the royal families
in newspapers or magazines.

304
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,340
To have you know, the son
of Grace Kelly visit Badu

305
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:06,540
and sit among them,

306
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,640
I think all of them excited
about.

307
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,660
- We're gonna meet him
at the airstrip,

308
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,300
elders going to welcome Prince
onto Badu.

309
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,660
To actually land
and stand on the soil of Badu.

310
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,260
- We will perform
la gabalta dance

311
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:25,700
just to show
that bit of history.

312
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,520
- So, it's going to be
a good week

313
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,680
knowing that Prince
is on the island.

314
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,960
- How are you?
- Good, good, good.

315
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,900
Prince Albert of Monaco.

316
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:05,620
Welcome.

317
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,100
- No, it's a pleasure.
- Thank you.

318
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,900
It's a privilege,
thank you very much.

319
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,660
Translated, he said,

320
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,980
"Prince Albert of Monaco,
we welcome you.

321
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,840
"Elders past and present,
we welcome you to our country

322
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,220
"and we are blessed
by your visit.

323
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:21,780
"It's a good day for us,

324
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,800
"somebody of your calibre
to visit our island."

325
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,380
Thank you,
it's a privilege to be here.

326
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,600
Thank you for welcoming us
to your community.

327
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,520
It's a marvellous day for us
in Badu.

328
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,700
We all are happy.

329
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,620
My name is Emmanuel.

330
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:39,620
Emmanuel.

331
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,540
And this is elder, Uncle Ronny.

332
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,640
- Uncle Ronny.
- Uncle Ronny.

333
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:23,300
I think the main thing is,
is gotta make him fit in.

334
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,400
Make him be like one of us.

335
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,620
No royal no,
what they do in the castle,

336
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,660
how they serve him back home.

337
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,760
But he's going to be
a local boy.

338
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,440
Prince Albert II.

339
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:57,780
Hello.

340
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:58,980
How are you?

341
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,500
Welcome, I'm well thank you.

342
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:01,620
Very pleasant to see you.

343
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,460
Yeah, yeah, welcome
to my country, thank you.

344
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,380
- Thank you for visiting.
- Thank you very much.

345
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:06,980
- This is my wife…
- A pleasure to be here.

346
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,340
..this is my wife, we'd like to
present you with a lei.

347
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:10,500
Lovely to meet you.

348
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:11,540
This is my wife, Matini.

349
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,000
And Rob,
this is my eldest daughter.

350
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,220
- Hello.
- Good to see you.

351
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,100
- How are you?
- I'm well, thank you.

352
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,440
- Welcome.
- I'm so happy to be here.

353
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,500
So, um, we will head off
in a vehicle

354
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,680
to sign in at the local
council office.

355
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,920
OK.

356
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,120
There we go, this is great.

357
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,700
First thing,
let's hope the car starts.

358
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,800
But looks like it's good.

359
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,780
You'll get to come to my camp.

360
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,700
Yeah, well,
we saw your camp also.

361
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,140
- Yeah, yeah, yeah,
oh, yeah, that's right, yeah.

362
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:05,980
Ariel showed us where it was,
nice beach out front there.

363
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,300
- It's the longest beach
on the island.

364
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,560
It's our place,
this is not a big city…

365
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,260
..but sometimes when we want to
get away from the crowd,

366
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,400
we just go to camp
where it's nice and peaceful.

367
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,640
You know, as you see on the map
it's a small island, it's a dot.

368
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,060
And, well, you know.

369
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,160
Well, Monaco's a dot as well.

370
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,040
A very busy one.

371
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,140
When we have visitors
come to Badu,

372
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,380
it's our business to know

373
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,060
what they're doing
on the island.

374
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,780
That's why we have
this system in place

375
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,180
where they have to sign in
at the council office.

376
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,460
Hello

377
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,260
- Hello.
- Hi.

378
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,660
- Even though it's part
of Australia

379
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,860
or part of Queensland…

380
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,320
..we are Badugal, proud…

381
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,220
..of being Badugal, independent.

382
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,780
And I might forget
and I might ask you,

383
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,880
"Where is your pass?"

384
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:08,740
Hi!

385
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,660
- How are you?
Good.

386
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,540
- Are you the Prince?
- Yes.

387
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,140
- Can I shake your hand?
- How you doing?

388
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,660
-Good.
- Can I shake your hand?

389
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,420
- How are you doing?
- Can I shake your hand?

390
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,020
- Yes.
- Thank you.

391
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,020
- How are you?
- Can I?

392
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,540
- Can I shake your hand, sir?
- Yes.

393
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:22,540
Thank you.

394
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,000
I love this um, frangipani lei.

395
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:26,460
Do You want it?

396
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,380
- Yes.

397
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,580
OK, there we go.

398
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,980
- You want to have it back?
- OK, OK, thank you.

399
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,460
Bye!

400
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,980
These are our beautiful
active kids,

401
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,660
they liven up the community.

402
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,760
- .
Thank you.

403
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,060
- OK, need to go now.
- Thank you, Prince.

404
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,500
Here you are,
I'll give it back to you.

405
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,420
- See you.
- Here, oh.

406
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,020
Here, oh.

407
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,740
Here, oh!

408
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,260
Can I shake your hand, sir?

409
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,420
- Thank you, thank you.
- Can I shake your hand?

410
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,520
- Bye, cheers.
- Bye.

411
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,820
So this is our local
supermarket.

412
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,920
- That's great.
- Yeah.

413
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,080
- Looking good.
- Yeah.

414
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,160
- Hello, everybody!
- Hello, Jodie.

415
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,380
- Badu island
being a remote place,

416
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,060
there are no restaurants
for the prince to dine out.

417
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,740
Nick, where's the vegemite?

418
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:44,980
Vegemite, um…

419
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,080
Vegemite, um…

420
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,660
Susan, where's the vegemite?

421
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,780
It was really interesting
to watch him,

422
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,100
walking through the aisles
of the local store

423
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,780
and buying stuff.

424
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:58,940
Yeah, you never know.

425
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,040
You never know.

426
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,360
OK.

427
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,060
Thank you very much,
appreciate it.

428
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,140
- That's the paper bag
I was talking about, see?

429
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,100
Yeah, that's great.

430
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,200
No more plastic bags, huh?

431
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:14,940
Good.

432
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,380
What's that one?

433
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:38,780
Is that a dugong?

434
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,880
Oh, let me show you.

435
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,420
There are many reasons
that the dugong and turtle

436
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:50,480
are a part of our culture,
in terms of hunting and eating.

437
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,360
It is part of our ceremonies,
our rituals.

438
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,420
Beautiful animals.

439
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,380
Very beautiful animals.

440
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,860
We have our knowledge
about dugong

441
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,580
and the Torres Strait Islanders
from our forefathers,

442
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,200
from Uncle Ronny
and now down to us.

443
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:27,940
Wow.

444
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,620
We'll manage protocols
have been placed

445
00:34:29,720 --> 00:34:32,060
generations ago, that's why
we still have them today.

446
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,200
You don't take what you want,
you just take what you need.

447
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,860
- Our feast,
our kaikai tonight,

448
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,320
will include
special cultural food.

449
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:07,700
Turtle and dugong as well
as pork, crayfish, shellfish,

450
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,800
vegetables and damper.

451
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,860
So this is the pub house?

452
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,960
This is the pub house.

453
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,260
OK.

454
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:30,620
And this is the accommodation.

455
00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:31,740
Wow.

456
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,060
It's toilet, bathroom.

457
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,380
Looks nice.

458
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:35,820
Couple of rooms.

459
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,740
Table here, you can put
the lei on the table.

460
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,840
- Absolutely.
- Yeah.

461
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:41,780
Put the…

462
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,040
..put the lei on the table.

463
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:46,860
Nice and cosy.

464
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,380
Fantastic.

465
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,620
- I will give that to you.
- OK.

466
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:52,700
- So I don't get blamed for…
- The official…

467
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,800
- .. getting you locked out.
- .. handing over.

468
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,040
Yeah, yeah, welcome to Badu.

469
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,900
- How are you?
- Hello, thank you.

470
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,460
Hello.

471
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,980
- This is my nephew,
he was hitting the drums today.

472
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,540
- Oh, that's right, yes.
- Yeah, that's my nephew, Ollie.

473
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,300
I hope you enjoy
the performance tonight.

474
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,120
I know I'm gonna enjoy
the performance, thank you.

475
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,600
But I hope they'll feed you too.

476
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,740
You're the main one.

477
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,840
You'll find
there's a lot of shy people.

478
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:40,700
That's OK.

479
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,680
I used to be shy too,
you know.

480
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:54,580
How are you?

481
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,540
The beautiful ladies
of Badu Island.

482
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,060
- How are you?
- Thank you.

483
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,540
- People think that
Monaco is an island.

484
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,700
It's very interesting
to be able to explain

485
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,940
that no, we're on the coast.

486
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,580
And we're very much
a maritime country,

487
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,380
but we're not an island.

488
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,980
Even if Badu
is much larger than Monaco

489
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,500
it's still a small place
and a small community.

490
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,800
We're connected
by this global ocean.

491
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,500
- Laurie Nona
chose to lead the community.

492
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,860
He was the Torres Strait
regional council representative

493
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,820
for Badu island.

494
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,720
Our water is getting warmer…

495
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,560
..faster than
the global warming.

496
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,280
Torres Strait,
our reefs are already dying.

497
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,540
Our reefs will die more.

498
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,540
- We've known each other
since we were little.

499
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,660
We've travelled
the same journey.

500
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,320
We've moved away from home,
learnt the English language…

501
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,900
..enjoyed life
outside of Badu,

502
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,580
we always talk about
preserving language.

503
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,940
Would passing our way
of life in our children.

504
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,760
We're basically
on the same path in life.

505
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,400
You can see it. It goes through,
goes through, yes, yes.

506
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,980
In the afternoon,
we'll see the herd of dugongs

507
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,240
just eating along here.

508
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:43,580
The dugong are not migrating
in the same areas,

509
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,500
they're going on top of reef.

510
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,060
I mean, there's no seaweed
on top of reef.

511
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,160
What are these dugongs doing,
you know like…

512
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,800
..the turtle mating
are coming very late.

513
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,560
The life around us
is at one with us…

514
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,260
..and we see changes
within that,

515
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,140
they're ringing bells.

516
00:39:01,240 --> 00:39:02,580
It's changing.

517
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,160
I've lived in the city
and I live in my home…

518
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,460
..and I can see how very easily
people in the city

519
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,880
can not recognise
climate change.

520
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,640
I'd really challenge people
to come out to our region,

521
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:19,780
right in the middle of summer.

522
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,980
The sand wasn't that hot
20 years ago.

523
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,420
Give him a round of applause.

524
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,540
I would like to of course,
thank you for this invitation

525
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,000
to come and visit Badu island.

526
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,940
My great, great, grandfather,
Prince Albert I,

527
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,340
used to say that science and art

528
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,180
were the two driving forces
of civilisation.

529
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,780
This was, he said this,
over 100 years ago.

530
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,380
And I think
it's still very true today.

531
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:54,900
Thank you very, very much.

532
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,500
Here.

533
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:53,500
Here we go.

534
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,600
Oh, thank you.

535
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:02,020
- It's a small community,
but it's a very tight community.

536
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,660
Everybody is very friendly
and very welcoming of course,

537
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,600
but everybody's very close
to one another.

538
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:14,520
And I had that impression of it
being like a big family.

539
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,460
More or less everybody
knows everybody else.

540
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,200
But they all try
to help one another.

541
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,380
You had enough,
had enough to eat?

542
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,540
- That in itself is also very
similar to Monaco

543
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,460
because we are also
a small community

544
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,700
and a lot of people
know everybody else.

545
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,220
I can't say I know all 38,000,

546
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,820
but, so,
there are similarities there

547
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,260
but I thought that on Badu

548
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,920
everybody cares
for one another…

549
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,940
..and that's very heart-warming.

550
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:01,340
- Aunty Denna taught me
when I was in primary school.

551
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,700
She's been passing down
cultural knowledge

552
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,860
for many, many years now.

553
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:11,120
She's a very strong leader
in singing to preserve language.

554
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,700
Warup is made from the tree

555
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,560
and when they make
that hollow…

556
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,380
..make sure that when you put
the animal skin,

557
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,780
make sure that the sound
is going like deep sound

558
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,440
or light sound.

559
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,760
And when you sing you using
language words because…

560
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:43,180
..we teach you to make the
hand movements with the songs,

561
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,360
each word of the songs.

562
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,120
Every songs have meanings.

563
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:51,140
Looking at the
sky, looking at the water,

564
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:53,560
weather, if it's calm.

565
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:58,420
So we learn island dancing
not only daytime,

566
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,180
we dance at night.

567
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,840
With the moonlight,
we dance and sing.

568
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:02,620
It's my great privilege

569
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:04,900
to welcome His Highness
Prince Albert

570
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:09,920
and special delegates
to Badhulgaw Ngurpay Lag.

571
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:12,500
This is an
incredible opportunity

572
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,460
to have Prince Albert
here at our school,

573
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,220
to experience
what I truly believe

574
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,480
with my whole heart
is the best school in Australia.

575
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,620
- We enjoy
coming to school each day

576
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:26,260
to further our education

577
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,260
and enjoy
the learning activities

578
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,460
that our teachers and
teacher aides provide for us.

579
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,460
And we are so proud
of our local artists

580
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,580
being recognised
internationally.

581
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,500
It is our history, our myths
and legends, our stories,

582
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,860
our songs
and traditional dances,

583
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,900
our cultural identity

584
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,460
and strong affinity to the land,
sea and air

585
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:52,100
that is captured in our art
that makes our style so unique,

586
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:53,620
captivating and appealing.

587
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:04,980
When I'm mingling
in the community

588
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,140
and community meetings,
public presentations,

589
00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:09,700
we speak in language.

590
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,800
And we encourage our kids
to be around that environment.

591
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,300
Now, the children
all go away for high school.

592
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:22,080
We as language speakers,
we stress about this every day.

593
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,380
Especially
when our children are away.

594
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:32,900
When we speak language,

595
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,160
we learn more
about the environment.

596
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,620
Language in songs,

597
00:45:39,720 --> 00:45:44,020
is a reminder to us
as a people

598
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:49,100
that we have to continue
to look after our island

599
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,200
and reefs and waters.

600
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,600
The younger generation…

601
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,300
..on Badu, but
in different parts of the world,

602
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,420
is taking hold
of environmental issues

603
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,300
and ocean related issues

604
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,960
and make it their own,
their own fight.

605
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,200
- Keep up the awesome learning,
Kingston.

606
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,180
- A sore spot of my visit
to Badu

607
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,380
but it's the same
everywhere else

608
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,020
that I've been to in the world,

609
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:38,940
every island I've been to.

610
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,760
In the Pacific,
the plastic pollution is there.

611
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,300
Makes me sick, really,

612
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,420
but I think there's
a big movement now

613
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:49,900
to not only want to clean up

614
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,380
but to stop the production
as it is.

615
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,660
It has to be part of
a circular economy scheme

616
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,540
that we have to put in place

617
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,380
because otherwise
we're going to be

618
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,160
buried in plastics pretty soon.

619
00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:07,780
This pollution can come
from thousands of miles away,

620
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,740
sometimes it's in microparticles
and you can't even see it.

621
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,540
We can't go on pouring

622
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,100
8 to 10 million
tonnes of plastic

623
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,200
into our oceans every year.

624
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,000
See what I mean?

625
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,140
Gonna get a bit wet.

626
00:47:29,240 --> 00:47:31,220
Yeah.

627
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,320
But we're used to it.

628
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,300
It's called
the let us spray moment.

629
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,220
Well, me and Prince,

630
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,540
we two have our
private conversations

631
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,060
and he really, really
appreciate it.

632
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,380
I mean, he shared
his experience.

633
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,900
I tried to share
as much as I can.

634
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,780
We went diving in the waters
here in the Torres Strait,

635
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,160
so got to see the coral
and the reef.

636
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:07,900
Pretty early on,

637
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,580
our parents introduced us
to every kind of activity

638
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,740
that we could do on the water.

639
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:19,900
I learned how to dive,

640
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,980
and it's just unbelievable

641
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:27,720
to be able to live
and experience underwater

642
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,140
and to see not only the beauties

643
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:36,000
but to also see,
unfortunately, the damages.

644
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,820
That prompted me
to want to take action

645
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,980
in a more personal way.

646
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,960
To try to best address
these issues.

647
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,660
- Reef, the ones that
are exposed at low tide,

648
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,260
they dead now,

649
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,060
not like before, the colour,

650
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,220
and now they're all dying.

651
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,320
Some turning white.

652
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,620
It's heartbreaking to see

653
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:15,740
a big batch of ghost nets

654
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,980
stuck on a big log

655
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,700
and several turtles dead,

656
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:23,740
stuck in it,

657
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,180
and obviously what
others see large,

658
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,340
especially large sea creatures
get stuck there.

659
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,900
It's not our fault,
we never introduced net,

660
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,220
but it happens on a global,

661
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,180
on an international level.

662
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,300
But somehow we have to
be aware of that

663
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:41,940
and make people aware of that,

664
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,100
that we need to look after
the sea creatures as well.

665
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,820
There's always dugong swimming
and turtles swimming along here.

666
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:49,420
- Really?
- Yeah.

667
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,060
Every time I see a dugong
or something,

668
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:52,900
or even I see a turtle

669
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,500
and it sort of inspires me
to do new work.

670
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,700
That's great, so it's a place
of inspiration.

671
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:01,800
A place of inspiration, yeah.

672
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:07,780
You're drinking
a Great Northern.

673
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,860
Well, I need to bring
one back with me

674
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:11,660
because I promised
a friend of mine

675
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:15,540
I'd bring back a beer from
every stop I make on this trip.

676
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:19,180
Well, you have to take it
not from Australia,

677
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,060
Cairns, Townsville,
or wherever you go,

678
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:22,580
you'll have to take it
from Badu.

679
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,760
Yeah, absolutely.

680
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,740
Uncle Ronny,
,

681
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,160
he's my father's first cousin.

682
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,420
So Uncle Ronny is
a father figure for me.

683
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,060
He knows a lot,

684
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,860
he speaks from what
he's experienced, he's seen.

685
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:16,500
It's always good to have
his perspective on things.

686
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,340
How hard life was like

687
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:19,900
working on the boats.

688
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,300
Those times, yeah.

689
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,340
- Prince Albert?
- Yes.

690
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,060
- You remember Uncle Ronny.
- Absolutely.

691
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:28,940
- Oh, yeah.
- How are you?

692
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,300
I remember you.
I'm alright, thank you.

693
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:32,820
Yeah, good.

694
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:36,940
Thank you for allowing us
into your home.

695
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,340
Yeah, I'm happy,
I'm happy you're here.

696
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:56,740
Where I'm living I stay
on my family land.

697
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,900
Yeah.

698
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,420
What a wonderful thing.

699
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,700
- And, uh…
- So here we are.

700
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,420
We got them coconuts here.

701
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,960
You can just grab them
and put them in the ground.

702
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,980
These are good ones.

703
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:20,700
So when all my grandchildren
come back home,

704
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:25,060
I tell them about this area,

705
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,220
this where Prince Albert
have been standing.

706
00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:30,420
So, I won't forget that.

707
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:32,100
Well, I won't forget it either.

708
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,200
Yeah. Yeah.

709
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:48,780
- My dad used to work
in the Torres Strait pilots,

710
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,140
so we went to Thursday Island.

711
00:52:51,240 --> 00:52:54,700
That was really good
growing on Thursday Island,

712
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,060
learning to speak English

713
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,820
because I only spoke language.

714
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:02,940
I couldn't even go to the shop
and buy something

715
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,760
because I didn't know
what to say.

716
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,860
We had a movie theatre,
no cover,

717
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,420
so when it rained,
we had to take shelter.

718
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,300
We had white people upstairs,

719
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:20,900
and half-caste people
in the back seat,

720
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:26,140
canvas seat and the Islanders
and Aboriginals

721
00:53:26,240 --> 00:53:29,380
were on wooden seats.

722
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:33,220
So that was like segregation,

723
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,860
it existed then.

724
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:40,880
I watched a lot of Grace Kelly's
movies on Thursday Island.

725
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,420
In 1954,
lovely Grace Kelly

726
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,820
of Philadelphia and Hollywood
won an Oscar,

727
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,900
the high point of her career
as a movie queen.

728
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,060
She wed Prince Rainier of Monaco

729
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,180
and as Princess Grace,
left films

730
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:56,860
to help rule
the tiny principality

731
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:58,540
on the Mediterranean.

732
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,140
We wanted to let him know,

733
00:54:01,240 --> 00:54:04,380
we personally,
from the magazine,

734
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,980
we knew his mum.

735
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,100
And through films
that we watched

736
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,180
on Thursday Island,

737
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:16,320
and how we were touched
to Princess Grace Kelly.

738
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:20,700
I did shed tears for mum

739
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:22,500
because she was wonderful,

740
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,220
very privileged to have met you

741
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,040
and this afternoon,
talk to you about mum.

742
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:30,980
She's in our heart,

743
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:32,620
beautiful lady.

744
00:54:32,720 --> 00:54:36,480
- And all our aunties
that you know deceased,

745
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,860
she was an idol to them.

746
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:45,120
Like yesterday, you walked into
the school gate.

747
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:47,860
I was standing right there

748
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,000
and I was really emotional,
thinking,

749
00:54:53,240 --> 00:54:55,260
just thinking of the gravesite,

750
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,180
all our aunties and mothers.

751
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,380
Wish they were like here too.

752
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,060
I followed that part
when she first met your dad

753
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,740
and then for the second time
she met him.

754
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,260
You know, he was the love
of her life, eh.

755
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:17,940
And then when the accident
was on the news now,

756
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,300
like, you know,
was so very tragic.

757
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,980
I'm very touched by
all your stories

758
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:28,500
of how you came to know
about my mother

759
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:33,500
and how you came to follow her
and follow her life,

760
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,620
not only her life
as an actress, of course,

761
00:55:35,720 --> 00:55:37,620
but her life as

762
00:55:37,720 --> 00:55:41,740
Princess of Monaco
and as my mother.

763
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,380
Mother to my sisters and I.

764
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:48,920
It wasn't just her beauty,
she was also beautiful inside.

765
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,020
These ladies that live on
the other side of the world

766
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:57,020
in a country that my mother
never travelled to,

767
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:58,820
never visited,

768
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:00,700
that they were touched by

769
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,660
my mother's personality

770
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,860
and by her warmth of heart

771
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:07,540
and spirit,

772
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:09,740
was really very touching

773
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,820
and very emotional for me,
you know.

774
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:14,920
I'll never forget that moment.

775
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,720
The visit of
the Prince Albert of Monaco

776
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:31,300
to Badu, for us,

777
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,500
we felt that he was
a very down to earth man.

778
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,500
Somebody who understood

779
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,140
and appreciated our way of life,

780
00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:41,260
who we are, and our region.

781
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,860
Our economy, our community,
our future

782
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,940
which is the children,

783
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,420
and trying to advocate

784
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:53,620
so that their life to come,
is culture,

785
00:56:53,720 --> 00:56:55,620
is the environment

786
00:56:55,720 --> 00:56:59,500
and is jobs through
those things.

787
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,620
Our language, for example,
we're losing it

788
00:57:02,720 --> 00:57:07,300
because our governments
don't really give a rat's ass

789
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:11,220
about preserving our language.

790
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,860
Australian government
is the most poorest government

791
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,820
in relation to preservation
of language.

792
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,740
Aboriginal languages
and our languages.

793
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:22,420
There's nothing in place.

794
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,580
Even though it's our
responsibility to teach it,

795
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:28,000
but if the country
had that interest,

796
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:30,980
then we would have that support

797
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:36,780
and so we would be probably
in our curriculums,

798
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:40,460
injected where there is
a proper language program

799
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:42,780
just like French,
just like Japanese,

800
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,100
just like, you know.

801
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:49,660
But in Australia there is not
Kalaw Lagaw Ya in the classroom.

802
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:53,220
But Monaco, our own
national language

803
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:57,900
was disappearing until
my father agreed to…

804
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,140
That it be taught
in schools again.

805
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:01,860
High school students in Monaco

806
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:03,900
can present in Monegasque

807
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,020
which is the name
of the language

808
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,120
for their French baccalaureat.

809
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,540
So it's…

810
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:15,180
I hope that that could be
the same in your country.

811
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,460
You would relate to this,
Prince,

812
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:20,580
because it leads back
to climate change

813
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:25,100
because like we were
talking about migratory birds.

814
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,380
They all coincide
with the season

815
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,880
and that can only be taught
by language.

816
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:45,860
We have big erosion,

817
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,240
big chunk of our beaches taken.

818
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:52,940
Little islands
in the Torres Strait

819
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:58,220
are going to be lost.

820
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:03,960
They won't have anybody
living on the islands.

821
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,420
Two problems, one of the things
is the sand banks

822
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,060
are getting higher because
the tides are getting higher.

823
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,620
And one of the things
council is discussing

824
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:20,540
is the evacuation of
communities, of other islands.

825
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:22,740
So we've got an evacuation plan

826
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:26,340
that is now on the table
for discussion.

827
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:28,020
So the elders
don't want to accept

828
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,540
that they have to move.

829
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,100
When somebody just
refuses to believe it

830
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,460
and say, "No, that will
never happen,

831
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,500
"our ancestors spirits are here,

832
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:39,300
"they won't let it happen."

833
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,920
So they truly believe that.

834
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:51,740
Climate change is a big issue

835
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:56,460
and our industry in crayfishing.

836
00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:00,480
Because that's where
we earn our money from.

837
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:03,500
From the ocean.

838
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,820
Yeah, that's a big one, mate.

839
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,180
You caught one.

840
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,880
- I'd like to see Badu
as it used to be.

841
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:17,760
We are pearling luggers
and Badu was rich.

842
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,340
And for the only way

843
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:22,820
to have that coming in

844
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,960
is setting up employment
for locals.

845
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,380
Ok then, no worries then.

846
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:48,820
I was expecting about
five boats,

847
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:50,860
there's only two boats coming.

848
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:55,380
There's one of the fishermen
coming from Mabuiag, yeah.

849
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:56,820
It's not good news for me

850
01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:59,100
because I'm expecting
to fill a plane up tomorrow.

851
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:02,240
It's a direct flight
from Badu to Cairns.

852
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,860
So I have about 600kg,
that's a lot,

853
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,300
but not what I wanted,
I wanted more.

854
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,400
At least about 900.

855
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,220
In the morning from
4:30 to 7:45,

856
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:19,820
we'll start packing.

857
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:23,600
We put them into boxes alive
to be shipped off.

858
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,540
I've travelled 45 minutes
to Thursday Island today.

859
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,180
I think it's very important

860
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,260
that we work closely
with Prince Albert.

861
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:45,900
Looking into
the climate changes,

862
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:47,900
how it's effecting
the Torres Strait.

863
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:49,460
How you going?

864
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:51,700
Yeah, all good, mate,
made it here safely.

865
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,020
- Fantastic.
- Yeah.

866
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:55,700
Welcome to the Solander.

867
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,460
At the moment, we're in
the early planning phases

868
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,220
of a joint Monaco Australian
expedition

869
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:04,620
that would be held aboard
this vessel, the RB Solander.

870
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,060
- Mate.
- Hey there, brother.

871
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:07,300
Welcome aboard.

872
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:09,460
Yeah, thank you very much
for the invitation, mate.

873
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:11,500
We're working with
the Badu islanders

874
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,700
and Edmund Tamwoy
as a real partnership

875
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,580
to understand
what's going on here.

876
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:17,140
Well, welcome aboard
to Solander.

877
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:18,820
This is a new thing for us,

878
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:20,620
they are the traditional
custodians.

879
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:23,140
They literally have centuries
of knowledge of these waters.

880
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:26,300
They are the original
scientists.

881
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,860
They're intimately connected
to the sea here.

882
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:33,140
And they want to be involved
in finding solutions.

883
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,140
At the time I knew
very little about Badu,

884
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:36,700
before the Prince's visit.

885
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,060
He was the connector,

886
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,720
he was the facilitator bringing
all these things together.

887
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:49,220
So are we going to see some
wildlife on the way there?

888
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:55,180
There are snakes
on the island, right?

889
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:56,700
- There are snakes
on the island.

890
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:57,940
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

891
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:02,260
There's pythons and lizard,
lots of lizard.

892
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:03,780
We've got the frill neck lizard,

893
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:05,620
we've got heaps of those here.

894
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:07,140
Decent size ones,

895
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,420
they're probably heads
are big like my fist.

896
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:18,500
- So we have to watch
where we step.

897
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:20,500
Oh, no, I've cleared my camp.

898
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,780
I teach the kids
about the snakes.

899
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:24,660
But I've made sure that

900
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:28,880
I've cleared it where they don't
really come up to camp.

901
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,220
- About that tree.
- Really?

902
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:48,820
What, because it needs beer?

903
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:50,500
I think so, yeah.

904
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,560
OK.

905
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:09,500
That's the one.

906
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:11,420
There we go.

907
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:12,700
Sorry to lean on you.

908
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,800
Nah, you're right.
I'm here to support you.

909
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:18,500
There you go,
as much as you can.

910
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:20,140
- And that's it.
- Yeah?

911
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:22,500
- And I'll cover it.
- And then we cover it up.

912
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:24,100
And then we just
cover it up like that.

913
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,200
- You can help me if you want.
- Sure.

914
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,180
- That's the one.
- OK.

915
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:32,700
Perfectly in.

916
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:35,180
Thank you.

917
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,660
I can tell my children that
Prince Albert planted these.

918
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,540
And then he can tell
his children

919
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,300
that he planted those.

920
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,940
And one day maybe his children
will visit here

921
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,980
to see where father
planted the coconut.

922
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,060
Thank you, Alick.
That was great.

923
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:51,980
Let's check out the sunset.
Got your glasses on?

924
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:53,340
Check out the sunset.

925
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,740
There was something,
there was some connection there

926
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,980
and that you start
cracking jokes,

927
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:01,100
it just flowed very naturally.

928
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:05,500
And then of course seeing him

929
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,780
in his own environment,
in his home with his family,

930
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:11,460
brought a completely
different perspective.

931
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,020
I mean, he was the same man,
but to see him

932
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,920
in his own environment
was something wonderful.

933
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:26,860
OK.

934
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,140
This is one of my…

935
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:30,860
This is actually
my longest lino print.

936
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:32,960
- Really?
- Yeah.

937
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,920
Hold that there and we'll just
unfold it this way.

938
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:43,840
And this will never stop.

939
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:47,820
- So that's the…
- That's the .

940
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:49,180
The .

941
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:51,280
- ,
yeah.

942
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:00,420
It's beautiful, really,
it's so…

943
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:02,840
And it's 8.2m long.

944
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,940
- Oh, the bu.
- Yeah, the bu shell. Yeah.

945
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:14,040
When is it gonna stop?

946
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,480
I got it.

947
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:22,180
Congratulations.

948
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:23,500
Thank you very much.

949
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:25,820
It's a fantastic piece,
beautiful piece.

950
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:27,920
Thank you.

951
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:47,460
Prince Albert,
welcome and thank you.

952
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:49,860
It's a special visit,
as you know.

953
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:53,060
The Badu community
welcomed you.

954
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:57,500
But I'd like
to acknowledge again

955
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:59,220
my beautiful wife

956
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:02,220
for standing there beside me
for this.

957
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:12,860
We love you.

958
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:18,700
Well listen, I don't know
what to say.

959
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:23,380
Except a thousand thank yous
for your friendship,

960
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:25,540
for your hospitality,

961
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:29,780
for the incredible warmth
that we've received.

962
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:33,140
We've all had a wonderful,
wonderful time here.

963
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:35,260
It was incredible

964
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:40,780
to get to experience
not only your hospitality

965
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,860
but the hospitality of everyone
on this island

966
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:46,500
and to get to know
your culture better,

967
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:50,300
to get to know
your everyday life

968
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:53,580
and your…

969
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:57,340
The incredible challenges
that you're facing.

970
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:02,700
The good humour
and the wonderful attitude

971
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:04,780
and wonderful spirit that

972
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:08,420
you and your people have
is really remarkable.

973
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:12,580
So I wanted to thank you both
from the bottom of my heart.

974
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:16,640
I think I speak on behalf
of everyone here,

975
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:23,100
we've had an incredible
and wonderful stay here.

976
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:24,380
Thank you so much.

977
01:08:24,480 --> 01:08:26,140
Let's give them a big
round of applause.

978
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:34,660
Thank you for coming.

979
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:36,760
Thank you, my friend. Thank you.

980
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:16,560
We women, called Badu
.

981
01:09:18,440 --> 01:09:21,460
Badu women come together.

982
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:27,160
We talked about how we could
look after the environment.

983
01:09:28,440 --> 01:09:30,700
And be more strong

984
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:34,520
in saying what we want.

985
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:00,500
Geiza started the women group

986
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,860
like, for us to encourage women
not to be shy.

987
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:08,060
Me and Geiza been through that

988
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:12,660
because we learnt from
our aunties and uncles.

989
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:18,720
How to welcome outsiders
to come.

990
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:21,880
Welcome to country.

991
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:26,940
So not only men do this,

992
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:30,840
women can do that in 2020s.

993
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,620
It makes us want to do more

994
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:07,100
and talk about it
and teach our children,

995
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:10,560
the younger generation
that this is real.

996
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,140
- With this whole
climate change thing

997
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:23,660
that's happening to us,

998
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:25,820
we can only educate our children

999
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:29,340
not to contribute
to making it worse.

1000
01:11:29,440 --> 01:11:31,580
And we can only encourage them
and educate them

1001
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:33,020
and make them aware that

1002
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:35,020
you have to think about
these things.

1003
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:37,740
Not just throw plastic
everywhere

1004
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:40,720
and just not care
about the environment.

1005
01:11:47,480 --> 01:11:49,100
After the Prince be visit,

1006
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:52,020
I be get invitation
from the museum

1007
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:53,700
for me to come over

1008
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:59,460
and, you know, rub shoulders
again with the Prince.

1009
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:01,220
This time I wanted
to share this moment

1010
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:03,420
with my wife
and my eldest child, Dagum.

1011
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:05,140
Show them around Monaco,

1012
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:07,020
show them the museum
and the work,

1013
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:09,120
just normal tourist thing.

1014
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:40,880
Oh, god.

1015
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:43,300
Woo. Woo.

1016
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:48,880
Them probably still asleep.

1017
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:51,740
Baby. Ah, she's awake.

1018
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:53,660
Are you ready,
we're gonna go soon.

1019
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:55,760
We're gonna go out.

1020
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,800
- The sun's out.
- Ah, nice.

1021
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:09,620
Just having family with me,
it's like..

1022
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:11,740
I've been talking and telling
them all about my trips

1023
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:15,380
and now they can see it
for themselves.

1024
01:13:15,480 --> 01:13:17,860
This beautiful city of Monaco
and, yeah, it's good.

1025
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:24,100
Oh, look at them cafes, man,
they're real pretty.

1026
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:26,100
When I go Monaco,
it's very different,

1027
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:27,740
different from my lifestyle.

1028
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:31,100
I'm not used to walking
and people tourist.

1029
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:34,460
I'm just used to me, myself,
my family and my community.

1030
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:36,220
Oh, look this one here.

1031
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,480
Ah, I like this one.

1032
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:40,620
1991.

1033
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:44,380
Look there.

1034
01:13:44,480 --> 01:13:46,480
Everybody smile.

1035
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:49,300
Everybody poke your tongue.

1036
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:57,140
- Monaco's very urbanised
city state.

1037
01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:59,300
We have the wonderful
Mediterranean in front of us

1038
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:01,380
and, that I think
is the great link,

1039
01:14:01,480 --> 01:14:04,660
is that we're connected

1040
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:07,660
by this global ocean.

1041
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:12,380
Of course, knowing that I was
named after Prince Albert I,

1042
01:14:12,480 --> 01:14:16,500
and seeing his huge statue
in the museum,

1043
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:20,560
I was so fascinated
and overwhelmed also.

1044
01:14:22,480 --> 01:14:24,460
By all accounts,

1045
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:29,300
Albert's great, great
grandfather Prince Albert I,

1046
01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:31,440
was a remarkable man.

1047
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:34,780
At 22 years old,

1048
01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:36,860
he decided he wanted to have

1049
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:41,920
a career in the new science
of oceanography.

1050
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:47,620
So he set about
a lifetime of exploring.

1051
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:50,260
He travelled throughout
the Mediterranean,

1052
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:53,060
making numerous
oceanographic studies,

1053
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:55,160
maps and charts.

1054
01:14:57,360 --> 01:14:59,500
He was fascinated
by the polar regions

1055
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:03,500
and financed and commanded
many expeditions,

1056
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:09,040
collecting specimens for his
brand new Oceanographic Museum.

1057
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:13,980
The famous French
underwater explorer,

1058
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:16,180
Jacques Cousteau,

1059
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:20,840
was director from
1957 to 1988.

1060
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,540
Many scientific achievements
and inventions

1061
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:30,700
happened because of
Prince Albert I's support.

1062
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:33,620
There's a cute picture
of where we're with our parents,

1063
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:34,940
my sister and I,

1064
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:37,500
but everybody's looking
at something

1065
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,100
that was displayed on a table

1066
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:41,780
and I'm looking back

1067
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:47,020
and looking at my
great-great-grandfather there.

1068
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:50,180
And this huge, what seemed to me
like a huge statue,

1069
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:52,940
it's not so huge now
when I look at it,

1070
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:57,260
photographic evidence
of my inspiration

1071
01:15:57,360 --> 01:15:59,680
by Prince Albert I.

1072
01:16:08,440 --> 01:16:10,740
You know that the mission

1073
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:13,900
of the Oceanographic Institute

1074
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:17,420
and since our creation
more than 100 years ago

1075
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:21,280
is to know and to protect
the ocean.

1076
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:26,220
I think that the story of Alick

1077
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:28,780
and the Oceanographic Museum,

1078
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,460
it's a really nice story.

1079
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:34,740
First of all we had a very warm

1080
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:37,140
and very nice welcome

1081
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:40,380
by the Tipoti family
in Badu Island.

1082
01:16:40,480 --> 01:16:45,060
Then we had the opportunity
to continue our change

1083
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:48,860
and develop our friendship.

1084
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:53,060
As you all know,
my name is Alick Tipoti

1085
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:56,100
from Badu Island
in the Torres Strait.

1086
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:59,420
We're going to be doing
some lino cuts today.

1087
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:04,420
- So we are very happy
have Alick Tipoti here

1088
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:07,760
and to welcome them
at the Oceanographic Museum.

1089
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:13,540
The western civilisation,

1090
01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:16,660
we are very strong
in nature science.

1091
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:19,540
But sometimes not so strong

1092
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:22,420
in understanding the connection

1093
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:27,220
between nature science
and human science.

1094
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:31,220
This is when we keep
our fingers crossed.

1095
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:37,300
- Progressively,
we've got the feeling

1096
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:40,500
that art is a door

1097
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:45,540
which will enable us to open
and to find a way

1098
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:47,780
to understand
a little bit better

1099
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:50,880
that relationship
through emotion.

1100
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:04,460
Wow, that's freaky, man.

1101
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:07,000
With like a high heel
and a boot. How do you feel?

1102
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:11,020
I'm ready for…

1103
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:12,620
Change the nation meeting.

1104
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:15,740
Meeting of the United Nations.

1105
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:17,140
But anyway…

1106
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:19,300
Sounds good.

1107
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,060
Darling, darling.
Sorry, wait there.

1108
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:23,320
Still got the sand
from Cairns.

1109
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:27,660
No, you've got
the button off though.

1110
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:29,020
No, no… Oh.

1111
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,120
There, you can leave it on.

1112
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:41,500
Wow.

1113
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:45,660
- Hi. Good to see you
- Good to see you.

1114
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:47,300
- How are you going?
- Good to see you.

1115
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:49,020
- Welcome.
- Thank you.

1116
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:51,120
Hi, how are you?

1117
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:54,180
It's so good to be here.

1118
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:56,420
See the familiar faces
at the museum.

1119
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:59,060
So, I'm sorry I have a little
something on my head here.

1120
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:00,540
What happened to you?

1121
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:04,700
I had a little procedure,
nothing bad.

1122
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:06,460
Nothing major. That's good.

1123
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:08,420
But it just had to be done,

1124
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:11,180
but unfortunately,
the timing was bad.

1125
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:15,460
So how are things in Badu?

1126
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:17,700
Things are very well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1127
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:22,580
It was such a great time.
Thank you again for that.

1128
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:25,020
Everyone's still
talking about it.

1129
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:28,180
People didn't believe that you
were visiting until you came,

1130
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:31,060
and then they were like,
"Wow, really?"

1131
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:33,460
It's really great.

1132
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:49,800
Squeeze in.

1133
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:52,540
- Dagum.
- Yes.

1134
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:54,620
You are now a young ambassador

1135
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:57,820
of the Oceanographic Museum
of Monaco.

1136
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:05,420
I have been given
a young ambassador award.

1137
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:07,420
So now we have to call you
Madam Ambassador.

1138
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:11,740
My daughter Dagum receiving

1139
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:14,060
the youth ambassador award

1140
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:16,660
from the Oceanographic Museum
in Monaco,

1141
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:19,620
as a father, I am so proud.

1142
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:21,300
You can only support

1143
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:24,980
in whatever they choose
in terms of leadership.

1144
01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:26,340
Because I might say,

1145
01:20:26,440 --> 01:20:28,900
"Oh, I want you to be
community leader."

1146
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:31,740
You can invest in her
as much as you want,

1147
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:34,860
but she might turn out
differently.

1148
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:36,380
Or have interest somewhere else.

1149
01:20:36,480 --> 01:20:37,860
She's surprised.

1150
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:40,400
Yeah, at first I saw my name.

1151
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:43,340
Oh, my gosh.

1152
01:20:43,440 --> 01:20:45,260
I'm going to treasure this
forever.

1153
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:47,360
It's signed by him.

1154
01:20:49,440 --> 01:20:51,440
That's fantastic.

1155
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:54,020
There we are, planting.

1156
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:58,100
Yeah, they're shooting really
well because the rains…

1157
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:00,400
They're really shooting up.
They're about… Yeah

1158
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:03,740
That's great.

1159
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:05,100
That was lovely, all the…

1160
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:07,260
That was great.
That was a great moment.

1161
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:11,580
We were able to have those
nice conversations. Yeah.

1162
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:12,860
Yeah. Yeah.

1163
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:14,780
Yeah, she was great,
she was a great lady.

1164
01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:16,900
Ladies are good.

1165
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:19,220
I really appreciate my identity,
where I'm from,

1166
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:20,940
the island that I live in.

1167
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:22,700
A lot of young artists
look up to me

1168
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:24,980
because I'm recognised.

1169
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:27,820
You can be a really good artist

1170
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:31,580
but you have to have a really
good cultural knowledge,

1171
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:34,180
on the same level
as your art practice.

1172
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:36,500
Wow.

1173
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:40,700
- We have the assistance
of Alick

1174
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:43,780
for organising the exhibition

1175
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:47,620
to show what we did do
in Badu island.

1176
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:51,100
I think that Alick's art

1177
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:55,420
is a kind of door open

1178
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:59,100
which enable us to understand
a little bit better

1179
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:03,760
how we can try to reconcile
humankind and the sea.

1180
01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:10,660
Thank you so much, Matini, Dagum
and Alick for your welcome.

1181
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:33,420
AIMS is very keen on
knowing more about the top end.

1182
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:37,300
Our strategy basically takes
our Indigenous engagement

1183
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:39,460
and puts it very much
in the frame

1184
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:44,900
of wanting to blend
your traditional knowledge

1185
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:47,700
of sea country with
our more western science,

1186
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:49,180
if you want to call it that.

1187
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:50,500
So we can come together,

1188
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:52,980
we can learn from you
and you learn from us.

1189
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:54,900
When I was in Monaco,

1190
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:56,780
Alick was there in the museum

1191
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:59,500
and we talked about
the expedition

1192
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:03,260
would focus very specifically
on the Torres Strait.

1193
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,020
The Prince I know is interested
in coral reefs

1194
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:08,740
and that's a key part
of our strategy as well.

1195
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:12,020
I think that the planned
expedition is a wonderful thing.

1196
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:14,420
If there's a way
that we can preserve

1197
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:16,300
or regrow the corals,

1198
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:19,900
then basically it's just
helping the marine life.

1199
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:21,140
It's more about awareness

1200
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:22,780
and getting people active,
I think,

1201
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:25,320
as a community, as a region.

1202
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:28,340
I really hope that we will be

1203
01:23:28,440 --> 01:23:31,740
able to help on marine
protected areas,

1204
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:35,860
on coral reefs,
on different species,

1205
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,220
on different pollutions

1206
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:41,500
and especially on plastics.

1207
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:43,380
But the most important part

1208
01:23:43,480 --> 01:23:47,180
is to maybe now to start
working on preparation,

1209
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:50,940
thinking, designing
of the new science mission

1210
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:53,680
in the Torres Strait.

1211
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:09,060
- I spent a bit of time
with Prince Albert II.

1212
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:12,060
In the midst of everything,

1213
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:15,180
all the media frenzy
and everything,

1214
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:20,380
he made sure that
I wasn't left behind.

1215
01:24:20,480 --> 01:24:22,740
He kept on calling for me

1216
01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:25,640
and making sure that
I was part of the group.

1217
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:31,540
Prince Albert II has
a very, very busy life

1218
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:34,380
and I think one of the things

1219
01:24:34,480 --> 01:24:37,260
I will cherish is for him

1220
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:41,420
to put some of those
busy schedules aside

1221
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:43,660
and spend a little bit
of time with me,

1222
01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:47,180
I thought that was very special.

1223
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:51,500
And that's where I really,
I suppose,

1224
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:54,860
connected with him
just as a person.

1225
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:58,760
And I'll remember that
for the rest of my life.

1226
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:32,580
In 10 to 20 years' time,

1227
01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:35,260
our language is gonna disappear

1228
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:36,820
and that's my only concern.

1229
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:39,940
We can only try
to preserve the language.

1230
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:42,040
That's the core of our culture.

1231
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:47,820
The singing and the dancing
will continue.

1232
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:49,920
The fire of that
will continue to burn.

1233
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:52,980
I see the fire in my children.

1234
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:57,020
It's my job to make sure
that they pick up firewood

1235
01:25:57,120 --> 01:26:01,180
and put it in that fire for it
to continue to burn.

1236
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:12,340
I think very much in tune

1237
01:26:12,440 --> 01:26:14,540
with what Alick does
with his children

1238
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:16,180
and teaching them

1239
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:18,100
how their respect for nature

1240
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:20,260
is very much part
of their culture,

1241
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:22,100
and that we cannot survive

1242
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:25,960
without nature and without
our natural environment.

1243
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:37,420
I have a tree
that I planted on Badu island.

1244
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:40,020
So I hope to go back and see it,

1245
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:41,580
but I hope more importantly

1246
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:44,060
that it will have a long life

1247
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:46,420
so that my children
can go back there someday

1248
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:49,260
and see that tree.

1249
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:53,320
And what a great link
that that is between us.

1250
01:26:55,480 --> 01:26:56,740
Thank you again.

1251
01:26:56,840 --> 01:27:00,380
Thank you, Alick.
That was great.

1252
01:27:00,480 --> 01:27:02,460
First thing,
let's hope the car starts.

1253
01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:04,560
- The water's on.
- The water's on

1254
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:09,500
All our aunties and mothers,

1255
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:11,600
I wish they were like here.

1256
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:24,780
There's always dugongs
swimming along here.

1257
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:26,880
It sort of inspires me
to do new work.

1258
01:27:51,640 --> 01:27:54,140
We don't know what's happening
on the other side of the world

1259
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:57,200
in terms of something's
happening to the sea.

1260
01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:01,760
We still look at
the star constellation

1261
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:06,020
but today, we have to actually
depend on the technology

1262
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:08,700
to make ourselves aware
what's happening over there.

1263
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:11,740
We have to prepare here.

1264
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:15,020
The land, the sea and the sky
look after me, as a culture.

1265
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:17,360
We have to look after it
as humans.

1266
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:21,740
Torres Strait
can't save the planet.

1267
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:26,240
We can only work save our reefs
and our water here.

1268
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:31,940
Maybe somehow we can
all work together

1269
01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:33,780
to basically save the planet.
