Ardyaloon, Western Australia

Ardyaloon or One Arm Point, also known as Bardi, is an Aboriginal Australian community town on the Dampier Peninsula, in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

It is located 2,446 kilometres (1,520 mi) north of Perth[3] and the closest populated town is Derby.

[4] The Bardi Ardyaloon hatchery has successfully produced trochus shell at One Arm Point for a number of years, including reseeding the reef surrounding the area.

[6] According to the local Indigenous people, the name One Arm Point originated from the tale of an unfortunate pearler who had an accident with dynamite while attempting to catch fish using explosives in the bay.

[citation needed] The community is located within the Bardi Jawi native title determination area, determined by the Federal Court of Australia on 30 November 2005.
