Bayil (Jungle Perch)

Kurranji (Cassowary)

Long time ago, the cassowary was a precious food source for our ancestors. They ate the meat and the eggs, used the feathers for ceremonies and weaving, and the skins for blankets.  The Cassowary is a powerful Totem for us because it helps growing many plants that were important for food, medicine and tool making. The Cassowary can walk wide distances and spread the seeds of the fruits he eats everywhere. Plants grow also out of his dung.

Wakal are small freshwater prawns. They can be found in streams and creeks where they hide under rocks. We use them as bait when fishing up-stream and in deep waterholes.
