Thursday Island is an island of the Torres Strait Islands, a group of at least 274 small islands in the Torres Strait. It has an area of about 1.4 square miles. The highest point on Thursday Island is Milman Hill, a World War II defense facility, standing at 341 feet above sea level. It has a population of approximately 2,805 people.
We were greeted by a lovely group of locals who took us to their community center for a wonderfully educational talk by some of their elders and a great performance by children from the local high school.
