‍In May 2020, the High Court reaffirmed the Federal Court’s 2017 ruling that the Yindjibarndi people of the Pilbara region in Western Australia held exclusive native title to land on which the Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) had opened its Solomon Hub iron ore mine. The court thus brought to a close FMG’s thirteen-year campaign to secure unfettered land access. In today’s episode of the ABR Podcast, Perth-based writer and anthropologist Stephen Bennetts reviews Paul Cleary’s Title Fight, which offers a meticulous account of the Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation’s victory against Australia’s third-largest mining company. Yet, as Bennetts argues in his review, the Yindjibarndi victory is far from decisive given the ‘toothlessness’ of Australia’s heritage legislation. After almost a decade, state and federal governments have yet to ‘deliver the full promise of the 1992 Mabo judgment’.

In this latest episode of The Travelling Optimist I chat with Paul Cleary.

Paul is the Managing Director and owner of the UK’s leading independent luxury holiday company – Caribtours.

With a name like Caribtours it has a history that is intrinsically linked to the beautiful islands of the Caribbean and more latterly with other luxury destinations in the Indian Ocean and Arabia and Africa.

Words to describe Paul are energy, vision, infectious enthusiasm and an obsession for the personal touch. 

Paul has led the company to countless awards and an enviable reputation in the industry that most companies aspire to.

We have a brilliant conversation about life, thin threads of life, serendipitous moments that shape our lives, opportunities even during these challenging times and why he got involved in travel.
You can contact Paul via Linked In or through the Caribtours website.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did talking with Paul.
