abc.net.au/news/purnululu-native-title-determination-handed-down/101788356The country's longest running native title claim over one of Western Australia's premier tourist destinations has finally been decided in the state's north.

The Bungle Bungles Aboriginal Corporation was registered with the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations in October, and Justice Mortimer said it would be the vehicle for change in the park.
