— Appears in: Griffith Review , no. 47 2015; (p. 251-261) 'THERE IS ANOTHER boom-and-bust resource industry in the West, one with a long and near-forgotten history. The exploitation and artistic use of the pearl shell Pinctada maxima, one of the largest and most lustrous nacre-producing bivalve shells found along the northern shores, is an ancient craft dating back over twenty thousand years. Its story is full of wonder, intrigue, romance and greed – yet to be fully appreciated in Australian history.' (Author's introduction)
1 Broome Creole : Aboriginal and Asian Partnerships along the Kimberly Coast Sarah Yu , 1999 single work essay
— Appears in: Queensland Review , November vol. 6 no. 2 1999; (p. 59-73) 'Romantic Broome - the pearling centre of the North West ... the locale of exciting novels! White-sailed luggers skimming across azure seas in the early dawn. Colowful Asiatics jostling in Sheba Lane - the famous street 0' Pearls. And languorous tropical nights beneath the glittering southern Cross.' (Extract)
