Martha says of this design “Man-galagun (Crab Creek) Country is where our family used to take us to when we were small. It is everyone’s favourite fishing spot. People gather there and catch up with one another yelling out- ‘Aye, you get any fish? Did you catch any langga (catfish), walgawalga (salmon) gungunbiny (grunter) or any wangaja (mud crab)?!’ Then we all sit down around the fire and cook up our beautiful feed that we just caught and drink smokey tea from the fire, sharing our catch with everyone. Country always gives us plenty of nagula mayi (seafood).
