The way of the goanna: mens stories
|
Pompey Raymond is an Aboriginal tracker from the Northern Territory. He was taught to read tracks from his father who first told him to practice on a goanna. Noel Nannup is a former national park ranger who reckons it's our job to care for everything.
Also in this program, we join a group of Tasmanian Aboriginal men who are the first in 160 years to make a bark canoe like that used by their ancestors to navigate the waters between the outer islands. Their design and construction so ingenious that medical imaging technology had to be used to unlock its secrets.
