James Price Point is a headland in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia. It is north of Broome. James Price Point was the proposed location for the now cancelled Browse LNG project.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title= Woodside Petroleum Cancels Onshore L.N.G. Project in Australia )〕 .The location is believed to be named after James Price, Minister for Works in Western Australia who died in May 1910.〔(who was James Price? )〕 In 1909 a tour of north-west ports in the ''SS Koombana'' was undertaken including Price, and the premier Sir Newton Moore. It is possible that the place was named during this tour. The indigenous name given by the Jabirr Jabirr and Goolarabooloo people is Walmadany.〔(Walmadany - James Price Point )〕 The aborigines take the fossilised footprints on the beach for the footprints of Emu- man, their ancestor In the "dream time". In 19 August 2013, the Supreme Court of Western Australia overruled Western Australian Environment Minister and the Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority and blocked Browse LNG plant at James Price Point after successful lobbying by the Wilderness Society.〔(- Victory for Australia’s nature: WA Supreme Court rules James Price Point approval ‘illegal’ ) 19 August 2013〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Price Point」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
