"Four spears stolen from Kamay, now known as Botany Bay in Sydney, by Captain James Cook, a then Lieutenant, and his crew, are to be returned to their traditional owners after more than 250 years …

"Noeleen Timbery, the chairperson of the local La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council, said she was eagerly awaiting their return after more than a decade of negotiations with Trinity College, the National Museum, and the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies.

“I haven’t stopped smiling since I heard the news. To hear that they’re coming back and they’re coming back to stay is unimaginable,” she said from Bare Island, in La Perouse, not far from where the spears were originally taken."
