The history of Indigenous bark canoes in Australia - 1966 | RetroFocus
Making and sailing bark boats is popular with children who picnic on the banks of the Murray River. But it's nothing new.
The traditional owners of the land have been making canoes from the bark of the red gums for tens of thousands of years.
This ABC Town and Country story from 1966 explores the history of the bark canoe and tells the story the great ancestor, Ngurunderi, who chased the murray cod in his bark canoe.

Cool
Great video, thank you!
Heres a piece of history for you... Indigenous Australians learnt the art of dugout canoes from the Indonesians, when an Indonesian tribe travelled to Australia hunting for sea cumbers in the 1720s, they took some Aboriginal tribe members back to Indonesia and thats how they learnt the art of dugout canoes (and a bunch of other skills!).
I'm looking for a song about traveling up the Murray in a bark Conoe please help

Yeah I know one, it’s called deepthroat. Look it up
Great video - It's a shame that they removed the sections from 'as many trees as possible' by woodcutters though. This is disturbing our First Peoples' culture.

also causing heaps of ecological damage by removing the big old trees holding the bank together and providing habitat.
I love all the information in this video, but really hate the way it's talking about Aborignal people as if they are ancient artifacts, or from cultures that are dead or gone. Still, that's the 1960's for ya.
