In Queensland.

THe natives of Torres Straits, Queensland, make numerous ornaments out of tortoise and pearl shells. Hair combs, carrings, finger rings, chains and brooches made of tortoise shell and inlaid with mother of pearl are given an artistic finish. And often the only tool used is a knife or a piece of broken glass.
