Gebar is an uninhabited island in the Torres Strait in the Australian state of Queensland.
The first recorded sighting by Europeans was by the Spanish expedition of Luís Vaez de Torres on 10 September 1606.
[4] The traditional owners of Gebar are the Gebaralgal who today reside on Yam Island, 20 km (12 mi) to the southeast.
On 13 December 2004, their native title claim over Gebar was determined in the Federal Court of Australia.
For example, my family and I frequently visit Gebar to hunt for turtle, collect turtle eggs, fish from the beach and collect plant materials for food and other purposes'.
