Thanks brother for your time documenting this, your patience and understanding goes a long way towards the Indigenous Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders. Second to none no doubt! Love this we need more people like yourself in Australia 👏🏾💯

Not since growing up watching Malcolm Douglas have I enjoyed so much watching a series of videos. Thank you so much to you and the traditional owners for allowing a glimpse into this amazing world. Much respect from a born and raised Perth boy.

Man, this series is mind blowing. Really really enjoying it so far, these legends are just so cool, my kind of people. Listening to the old fellas talk is absolutely mesmerising, I could sit and listen to them forever. Dude, that turtle looked amazing, I’ve never tried it like that either, sitting back bloody drooling, haha. And the fact everyone gets together and just bonds and gets on with it and shares it al around is what we all should do more of. I can’t wait to get back up that way, very soon hopefully. Thanks so much legend man. Truly loving it mate.

That was my takeaway from the day too mate, sharing all that time together. I learn so many valuable life lessons out on country with different mob, lessons that i then bring home and try to implement into my life and this one, being more present and making time for friends and family was a big one.

This channel is so needed mate! You're actually out and about with the these amazing tribes man! Spending hours with them! Respect mate!

Aboriginal people and Torres strait Islander have been mixing in the Cape York long before the white Man came it's different up in far North QLD because their culture is a mix of Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal in hunting, dancing,eating etc. Just try Go up and tell them Blackfullas up there that they're not Aboriginal. You'll be in for a shock!I know for a fact you've never been to North Queensland!😂😅

@34:00 more like the title ur boys harpooned has swam off with the tip of the harpoon in it…. The boat pushed the stick with the turtle on one end and the brother on the other end… either the brother had to let go of harpoon/spear, or the turtle had to break off, or the spear would’ve broken…

So why vote yes or no.

I feel if it is a custom and tradition, then use traditional tools only. I respect the right but feel the rules are lax and need looking at.

🐢🥚X

It not even cooked 😂😂

Why dont you move up there with your wife and kids?

I agree with the sentiment of traditional hunting. But shouldn’t be allowed to hunt with white man tools . Boats with outboards. Use canoes as your ancestors did to give the animal a chance

Can you please explain to me why there’s no women involved in all that process, is it against their culture? I presume that food leftovers the women get to eat as well. TIA 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Hunting turtle and dugong is Men Business in all the tribes / nations iv spent time with. Just like alot of things are womens business and strictly not for men. All those bowls on the table at the end there were to go home to each individual family for men, women and children. The men hardly ate any before going home actually, just the liver halfway through the day.

Sorry So what! But doesn’t make it right in these current times. As a duck hunter of over 40 years plus in Victoria, I’m about to lose my rights to hunt ducks. But if I was indigenous I would still be able to hunt ducks. This double standards are ridiculous and for me to watch this and say it’s okay. Sorry your wrong.

@@WildReachesNo. You are hiding behind wigs in Canberra that are constrained by laws introduced many years before the times when we had to explain to our children why we have to use paper straws now to try to help save endangered turtles. I don’t think the turtles care about 60,000 year old customs given that they were here 100 to 200 million years ago and are just trying to survive.

Curry turtle is amazing but I wasn't a fan of turtle eggs.
