Dikal, Bird

There are many Dikal’s living on our bubu, country. I love camping with my families, anywhere, down the beach or at the river and listening to the Dikal’s singing.

Biography:

I was born in Mossman. My mother’s people come from the Kuku Nyungkul clan of the Shipton Flat/Helenvale area.  My father belongs to the Kaanju tribe of Coen.

I have been making art for a few years now and love bright colours as they make me feel happy. I  paint, print, make jewellery and love all textile art.

I have a large family, 4 children, 3 step-children, 21 grand kids and 39 great grand kids.

I love going out with the family to the beach hunting for food and having a fire with damper.
