Black White or Brindle Cairns community seems to come to one conclusion - what happened to the folks at Cedar Bay was wrong.
"My view is that unless the black population is speedily absorbed into the white, the process will soon be reversed, and in 50 years, or a little later, the white population of the Northern Territory will be absorbed into the black" - Cecil Cook 1937 -page 11. Nimbin Hemp Embassy Archive: "On the morning of 29 August 1976, the inhabitants of the hippy colony at Cedar Bay in far North Queensland were awoken by the WHAP-WHAP-WHAP of a helicopter circling. As it dropped off a few policemen at the beach, they watched. It left, only to return again, and again, and again." Nimbin Hemp Embassy Archive
