Aboriginal wildlife paintings

Banol, the head man of this Aboriginal village, teaches us about some traditional Aboriginal art forms and explains how the Aborigine's art is representative of their environment. Dhalinboy is located next to a big river and it is the creatures from this river which dominate the art created here. We join him in front of his shack where he is painting a wooden crane he has carved and explains its significance. We also meet children from a local school who are painting animals from the river and take a boat trip to the stretch of water where they live.
