Being Katungal ‘Sea People’, our family did everything around the ocean. We are divers, fishermen, we prawn by night. We are aware of the dangers too. This painting is about our life as sea people and the dangers we had to be aware of. We collected conks, periwinkles, pippies, oysters, and wild mussels. Our men dived for abalone (walkamara) and lobster. We fished off the rocks for the much prized groper, bream, snapper, flathead, salmon, dewfish and mullet. They also caught Mud and Blue Swimmer crabs. All this comes with the natural dangers of rough and unpredictable seas, sharks, eels, jellyfish, high and low tides and the vast changes in weather conditions of our South Coast. For generations we’ve been taught about the dangers of the ocean and surroundings and how to safely navigate and collect our seafood. So this painting represents all these dynamics and all the places in Yuin country that we go to hunt our great oceans bounty.
