I remember swimming across rivers holding on to floating logs

The Dhangal Tail:

the traditional basket

In those days the Lardil mob foster or adopt us as their family

WILLIAM SAVAGE | 'Kulap (Gorr) - Large' | Rasta | Red / Green / Yellow / Black Matilda Nona Malujewell etching and lithographyThese Kulaps are woven from rope and made with seeds from Matchbox Bean (Burny Bean) tree. Traditionally the dry seeds are cut in half, then strung on to vines to make a traditional musical instrument . Kulaps are used as a musical instrument (rattle or shaker) in the Torres Strait during traditional ceremonies and dancing, also complementing singing, drumming and chanting.
