kimberley

They're classic 1950s twin-engined amphibious aircraft that landed anywhere up and down the Kimberley Coast for pearling transfers.

What is not mentioned in this story is the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme that started in 2003.

Almost all of the Kimberley pipe's output is industrial quality, not gem quality, although the pink gemstones are very nice.

They aren't fed farmed food, they forage and run wild in the Kimberley and Kakadu, and the environment is well served by routinely rounding them up for dinner and taking pressure from the grasslands.

One of my favourite planes were the Grumman Mallards still owned and operated by Paspaley Pearling out of Mungalalu Truscott and other Kimberley airbases.

I literally grew up on Aboriginal land in the Kimberley and attended school with multi lingual kids that had non English speaking parents.

The tiny amount of gem decorated watches they sell are all sold with diamonds certified by the Kimberley Process, which isn't perfect, but is literally the UN standard.

I really didn't need to do it, I was just trying to push my boundaries before heading into the Kimberley region to eat snakes and lizards.

Predictably, all ten subjects eventually became overweight and developed type 2 diabetes as they adopted western sedentary lifestyles in the community of Mowwanjum in the northern Kimberley region of Western Australia.

"Ethical" diamonds sold presently in jewelry stores, per my understanding, are better than they were 10 years ago, but the Kimberley Process still has issues.

But sure "Pilbara", "Kimberley", "Wheatbelt" can be geo guessed..

There are parts of the Kimberley/Pilbarra that are, quite simply, among the most spiritually rewarding places on the planet.

The signal in the Kimberley's is shithouse, mate.

Hardly surprising, perhaps, given it was the Kimberley.
