A decade-long feud over two native title claims has reached an end with 7,800sqkm of Australia returned to First Nations traditional owners.The Barada Kabalbara Yetimalara People were handed native titles for two areas in Central Queensland after the Federal Court of Australia delivered its verdict in recent days.One plot of land covers more than 7,512sq km between Sarina and Rockhampton while the second encompasses 294sq km of land and water north of Rockhampton.
There are currently 39 active claims for native title across Queensland. The latest was filed in January by the Djabugay Nation People for land south of Port Douglas to Cairns and west to Mareeba.
