There are also holy places there, such as B. the women's area in 'Worrungo Bay' and stone arrangements at Mime Island , which, as the tribal elder always emphasized, were never fish traps, but an important ceremonial area for initiation rites. The ceremonial area was off the paths used by the Gubulla Munda ( diamond python ) when they created the mainland and islands inhabited by the Juru. ( Traumzeit forecast the Juru and Birri-Gubba ).

Property rights

In 2011 the Federal Court of Australia granted Juru ownership of Cape Upstart National Park. The Juru achieved this victory in court after a 20-year battle for their property rights.
