Kuri Bay
Kuri Bay is a remote coastal bay in the far north of Western Australia in the Kimberley region, about north of Broome. The closest main town is Derby that is located southwest from the bay. The bay opens directly into the Indian Ocean and the Augustus Island is located just off-shore from the bay. The bay is part of the Prince Regent Nature Reserve and the Kunmunya Aboriginal Reserve.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bonzle Digital Atlas - Map of Kuri Bay WA )〕
==History==
It is the home to Australia's first cultured pearl farm and is named after the company's first principal, Tokuichi Kuribayashi (1896–1982). The Japanese-American-Australian company commenced operations in 1956 following the Western Australian Government repealing the Pearling Act that prohibited the production, sale and possession of cultured pearls.
By 1973 the Kuri Bay operation was producing 60% of the worlds large white South Sea pearls.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Australian Pearling Industry and its Pearl )〕 Paspaley, the biggest supplier of South Sea pearls in the world, has one of their largest and most well-known pearl farms located at Kuri Bay.〔http://www.ytravelblog.com/kuri-bay-paspaley-pearl-farm/〕
