Description: Takes readers inside the lives of the children of a remote Indigenous community located on the northern tip of the Dampier Peninsula in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia - lives very different to those experienced by most Australians. The children take readers camping and fishing, share traditional stories and dances, show them how to find a waterhole, track, cook and eat bush tucker and animals such as turtles, crabs, oysters and clams, and make spears, boomerangs, bough shelters and bush brooms.
Notes: Includes English-Bardi wordlist.
