Coral Reef
This piece refers to the way the reef provides food to many people when the tide is both in and out
Goorlil (Turtle)
Goorlil is the turtle that we hunt for its meat. Usually hunted for special occasions, celebrations or sorry business.
Banang (Mudcrab)
Banang is the mud crab that we walk through creeks and thick mangroves for.
Odorr (Dugong)
Odorr is the dugong that we hunt for its meat also for special occasions, like the Goorlil. Its oil is also collected for the use on hair and skin.
Sunset Over The Reef
After a long day of fishing we sit down by the fire cooking our fish and shellfish while we watch the sunset over the reef.
