18th-century Aboriginal spears repatriated from Cambridge University to Australia's La Perouse Aboriginal community.

Cambridge University returns 18th-century Aboriginal spears to Australia, marking the latest high-profile repatriation of artefacts. The four spears, all that remain of the 40 taken by British explorer James Cook in 1770, are to be permanently returned to the La Perouse Aboriginal community in a ceremony at Trinity College, Cambridge. The return was agreed in March last year, following a campaign and a formal repatriation request.
