Make it Real Magnet by Rona Bin Hitam

Nilamarr (Abalone) 

Nilamarr in Baard Language also means ‘ear’. Nilamarr are good eating, and the opalescent shells were once used for making buttons. Rona spent much of her childhood collecting shells on the reef to trade in Broome. Shells were a major export used for button manufacturing overseas, before plastic completely replaced the industry.
