Waralte is a significant spiritual Dreaming place for the Adjahdura people and has an interesting history; It was mined and farmed for half a century by white fellas; The rabbit calicivirus was accidently released from the Island before testing was complete; The waters around Waralte are trecherous, with stormy weather, sharks and reef outcrops - many ships have come to grief and lives have been lost.
