Torres Strait Islands

Amazing linocut artworks. Although based on traditional carving methods, this style of art is actually a relatively recent invention. Can be purchased from the Gab Titui culture centre. Cheap pearls. Pearls are farmed on Friday Island, so be sure to take advantage of the low cost, high quality pearls. In Saranealis House its the big pink building on Douglas street, Thursday Island. They cost about a third of what you would find in Cairns and around a quarter of what you would expect in other major Australian cities.
