Sunday Island Explorer

Join us on a journey that began thousands of years ago through what is today known as the Middle Passage. We pass through the whirlpools and eddies between Jooloom and Jayirri and allow you to experience the power of some of the World’s biggest tidal waters and learn how these massive tidal currents were used by the Jawi people to hunt, fish and trade. Rosanna Angus is a Jawi woman whose family lived on Sunday Island, she shares stories of life on the island before the mission closed in 1962. Discover who started the Mission and why Sunday Island was chosen as the site. Learn about life at the Mission and why the culture is still strong. This unique piece of Australia’s history has remained hidden from many for too long. The collective stories of those who grew up at the mission have been collected and recorded. We look forward to sharing these stories with you on Oolin Sunday Island Cultural Tours
