A LOST PARADISE (The Most Epic Village We've Ever Seen)

Anchored in a tiny bay on a tropical island, and with the blessing of the traditional owners, we have been asked to join for a big celebration. We need to catch food to take a meal to share with the village. Hope you enjoy, thanks for watching. Ep13 of "The Blue Highway"

Thanks for a great video. Our daughter married in Vanuatu about 25 years ago. We will never forget the incredible reception we had with the island's people. We can learn a lot about hospitality from them here in Australia.

[@ashleyhampel2322]

Vanuatu and it's people are great. Many years ago I was on a cruise, we docked at Port Vila for the day and did some exploring with a guide. The highlight for me was swimming in the rock pools below a magnificent water fall. I'd love to go back one day.

[@charlesward8196]

@@BacktoBasics what is the “governmental system” for the islands in the Torres Strait? Indigenous people here in the lower 48 United States outside of Alaska are on semi-autonomous “reservations” that have various degrees of sovereignty. In Alaska, under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of about 50 years ago established “Native Corporations” that control resource extraction and administrative functions. Are the Torres Strait islands under a blanket administration, or is each island a separate jurisdiction. You have commented on “getting permission” to visit certain areas, but did not elaborate on how this is done, or who you have to contact. Thanks for taking us on the journey.

Well spotted. They are Mako sunnies, they brought back the "old school" ones with the side protectors. My grandad Ted was wearing the originals in the 90s. Hooks around your ears and are super practical. (Some have given me shit about them, but I dont care about looks haha)

I’d like to know where do the T Islanders get their supplies/medical etc from PNG or Australia or does a barge go around, I know they are very self sufficient? Love the kids “oh big croc lives in there!” and a couple of minutes later they jump in the water. 😀🐊 Always been curious about the TI’s thank you for showing us.

[@BacktoBasics]

Thats a good question Sandra. And there is quite a long answer, but simply put: there is medical facilities on all inhabited islands and supplies dropped off most weeks by a barge that goes from Cairns through the Cape and all the Straits. beautiful place, beautiful people.

[@gebi4pejo1]

I’ve been to the TI Thursday Island how beautiful 🤩

[@bbb8182]

I worry (my specialty) the local guys "pretend" to like you for money's sake but I don't think there's anything really wrong with that (it helps their families for crying out loud!!)and besides when you guys are all drinking together they are CLEARLY enjoying themselves too HAHA...bless them for sharing their lives with adventurous lads like you bunch since we learn from each other too.
