Awesome insight to a community so close to home Nath, keep doing the great work you're doing opening up the history of australia and showing others the wonders of our country
This was awesome i am so glad you’re back with a new season and more knowledge!! Also something that i loved to see was the kids in the bush bare foot, it is the best way to connect with the land and heal your spirit
Hi Nathan...i was caretaker at the old Karanda school for a few months back in 2014 living on site in an old bus that belonged to my mate Claude who i was filling in for and there where Wumpoo hanging out in the Kauri around the bus, reminded me of the woodpidgeon here in NZ beautiful bird life up that way...awesome to see that country again.
Smashed another episode out of the park mate. Great job. Really liked the narrating of the story at the beginning too. Excellent background music throughout👍
Wow Man, your episodes just keep getting better and better, loved this insight, felt like l was there for sure, just bought some merch to say thank you
Awesome mate. I used to do a bit of work in Yarrabah and have always wanted to get over into the back of those mountains where you guys were for a look around. But obviously being aboriginal country I never bothered.
Hello Nath great to have you back, this was very enjoyable we would love to had that walk with you guys. Going back to Capt. Cook that is the kind of welcome we get from the neighbour, he must see us as the ghost of his ancestor's 🙄. I think you've nailed it mate....Looking forward to next weeks already, we are just off to shoot some pigeon!!☺. Take care The Wild Screechers. Hello Mel👍.
Yes, waiting for season 8! So happy for this vid Nathan! But, my question is , how you fellas not get lost? No GPS nothin? How do you do it? I’m mob and even I get worried to go extreme country
Duuuude,,! So awesome a spot, I’ve been to Yarrabah a few times but never experienced that kind of thing, glad we are back to normal programming legend man, life as we all know it can resume. Mate your editing skills and cinematography is something you should be truly proud of, getting better and better with each season, I know how painstakingly you do it and it absolutely shows. I love your interactions with the people and the trust they put in you. Thanks so much Nath, bloody awesome. But most importantly what was that topwater lure you guys caught the JP’s on, you know me, I need at least 4 of the bloody things now…. 😂😂
Haha I’ll have to check with Josh on that lure. Thanks mate, I love reading your comments, very inspiring. Hope you’re well down there in the cold mate, atleast you have weekly episodes to look forward to again. 👍🏼
another sick vid cant wait for the rest of them man. im from cairns and i havent seen that part of yarrabah but the rainforest and diversity of animals and plants is amazing. when was this recorded and what was the species of tree you used for the spears, have a good one mate
I got a 5am start, was meant to be in bed 45 minutes ago then i accidentally clicked this video. Worth every minute mate, can't wait to get stuck into all your others! Moving up fnq way at xmas and cant wait to get a JP one day! Bonus points if you can tell me what that cheeky little surface walking lure was.
Deadly 1 nath ❤️privileged to watch this love the story at the start something diffrent to the cape episodes 💙safe travels brother love and respect mate
Hi Nate. Not too many countries can boast that they treated first peoples fairly. It’s a pretty sad legacy of the human condition in our collective history.
This is my first video that I watch from you and thank you for the insight from this video. So sad tho for the history what the Aborigines went through. No one should went through that especially in the name of any religion. It's not Christ like if you think about it. People has ruined the concept of many religions. The ones that has faith in God should be more humble and should not want power. Thank you for sharing this video.
This was brilliant. When I was at school they never taught any of the local atrocities that happened to the first peoples. Most we did was watch rabbit proof fence, but talking about the local mass graves never happened. Especially where I was from was full of squatter families who would get really butthurt if you even brought it up. Get called a bleeding heart and accused of trying to make them feel guilty for stuff their relatives did when it's really about respect and acknowledging people's experiences and history. The paranoia that they are simply being guilt-tripped is just disrespectful self-centered rubbish... And then of course they accuse everyone else of being overly sensitive.
Traditional owners should use traditional methods or have to stick to the same rules we all have to abide by I’m sorry but this just makes a mockery of guardianship of the land
Hey Mark, interesting point mate. Remember it’s not First Nations people who make these fisheries and hunting rules, it’s Australia’s government. What people don’t get to see is the management of resources that each tribe has for their own country, Land and Sea. These are ancient practices that go hand in hand with their spiritual beliefs. Iv touched on on it a bit this series so hopefully you get to hear a bit of that from the elders. Yes they are using boats these days and modern weapons from time to time but their own “quota” for lack of a better term is still upheld (most of the time in the regions iv visited) by the wider community.
@@WildReaches yes I agree with you totally, I’m a firm believer in only taking what you need. Unfortunately not everyone follows this simple rule and spoil it for everyone Thanks for your reply 👍
@@christianhendry7136 I’ve listened to plenty of stick clapping. I’ve been to many ceremonies and enjoy them thoroughly. I also enjoy this video, but it was just too much for me. Im glad you enjoyed it.

You’re welcome Ben
What an amazing setting and ecosystem to fish and explore. It's like a dream. How bad are the mosquitoes?
Thank you for your videos teaching the history and suffering of the Aboriginal people

Hey Haz, thanks mate. No I didnt, young Clifton took that one home to cook
Awesome mate. I used to do a bit of work in Yarrabah and have always wanted to get over into the back of those mountains where you guys were for a look around. But obviously being aboriginal country I never bothered.

🙏🏼
Beginning was a nice touch to your videos mate, really enjoyed that
Thanks mate. 👍🏼

The boys call it woodjigy but I’m not sure if it’s actual species name. Glad you enjoyed the episode Ash, such beautiful country through there
Deadly video mate, is there a part 2 of this?
Yep. Thanks mate

The little one with the arm cast is doing a great job
So good hey, young Buddy had a broken arm

Aye thanks Aidan, glad you enjoyed that story mate, working on next weeks ep now
@@WildReaches can’t wait mate 💙
Crazyyyyy didn’t know these pigeons just chilling having 30 berries shoved down their throat. Thanks for the knowledge
Pretty amazing hey, such a large fruit too
This looks so fun mate, how did they traditionally catch these things?
I’m not sure. I’d guess boomerangs / throwing sticks and nets. Nets were made traditionally using fibres. Would’ve been a challenge with a spear
Love your content mate
good to hear, thanks for watching
Close to home ❤
What is this top water lure you are using in the video? Love the design with the wings !
I’ll have to ask Josh mate, that was his set up we were using
Horrific past times.. Always was Always will be
Mate what was that lure! Have been tryi g for so long to land a jungle perch! Great episode mate loved it!
I’d have to ask Josh, that was his. Any surface cicada style lure would work if you’re in the right water 👍🏼
@@WildReaches legend! I’ll be down at BCF this arvo!
Hi Nate. Not too many countries can boast that they treated first peoples fairly. It’s a pretty sad legacy of the human condition in our collective history.
Yep that’s for sure
Very very cheeky boy
Times change, environments change, hopefully more insight, next episode shows some endangered Dugong and Turtle being hunted with white man tools
Are those beautiful birds not protected in Australia, mate?
I could live there God bless.
Sick vid mate 🤙
Cheers Nate 👍🏼

Should've put the rice in with the birds,that how we cook our fruit pigeons on my island.
Nice, so it soaks in all the goodness as it cooks?

Spot on mate, it’s about acknowledgement, open conversations and moving forward together. I think, from reading my comments, alot of people hold that
Attitude of being disrespectful and rude because they feel they’re being guilt tripped. It’s nothing about being made to feel guilty, so far from it
Nathan love your vids cheers wow old mates brothers that mob white guys whiter than me ah mu
Hectic yowie country
Haha yep, wouldn’t catch me out there alone at night
Ooooo Sundays not Fridays now
Yeah mate 👍🏼
I’m not sure if hearing it right, but is the bird name “condom”??
'quandong' - is the fruit that the bird was eating
Don’t know how to spell it but bawoulick. It’s a Wompoo dove

The stick clapping at the beginning was so repetitive it was almost unbearable.
Thanks for the feedback
I respectfully disagree. Clapping sticks traditionally are an integral part of storytelling and ceremony. I felt it enhanced the intro to this video.
@@christianhendry7136 I’ve listened to plenty of stick clapping. I’ve been to many ceremonies and enjoy them thoroughly. I also enjoy this video, but it was just too much for me. Im glad you enjoyed it.
I thought it was very fitting and enjoyed the informative narration over it.
Change the channel then
Sad reading the comments racist much or absolutely clueless
Just uneducated. That’s why I think these adventures and conversations are so important.
Absolutely disgusting to kill an echidna
Yea whatever loser ✌🏾
