Badu Island
Badu Island (Mulgrave Island) is an island 60 km north of Thursday Island Queensland, Australia in the Torres Strait. This island is one of the Torres Strait Islands. Badu Island once had a feared reputation as an island of headhunters. Warfare, farming, fishing, canoe building, house building, turtle and dugong hunting and a host of other activities were the main occupations of Badu men until the 1870s; of these headhunting disappeared with the adoption of christianity.
