Makarr (Fish Trap)

Fish traps are called Makarr in our language. They were made by men only. Our fathers and uncles used to make them with the lawyer vine. They stripped the stems and then soaked them in the river to keep them soft and bendy. They also had a special way of weaving the fish traps. They used them in the river to catch eels, jungle perch, fresh water catfish and turtle. To attract fish our old people used to sprinkle rain forest berries as bait over the trap.

Birmba (White Cockatoo)

Birrmba (White Cockatoo) is my family totem. It has been passed down from generation to generation.They always remind me of my grandfather, my sister and other family members who have passed on.White Cocokatooes are like protective spirits for me and my family. They will give you signs. Good signs and signs of danger. They will let you know when to move on.
When I’m out with my grandchildren and there is a white cockato, I might say, “that is  your gransmother, my sister who is watching us”. At other times, the spirits of other family members visit us in form of white cockatoss.Thw White Cockatoo  keeps our living and past family connected to each other and to our country. When I’m alone, I know they are around. I speak to their spirit and they give me strength.
