Campfire Yarns
 There are many Torres Strait Islanders living on mainland Australia, between Townsville and Cairns and the children I have seen here at Flying Fish Point, seem to go about life with a lot of independence and self-sufficiency. While I have seen sophisticated families carry the full set of patio furniture, wine and crystal wine glasses down to the beach for a fishing excursion I was impresses to see this friendly young, islander child, reeling in the fish using little more than a roll of fishing line, a hook and some bait, he had dug himself. Reg with his sophisticated fishing kit could not catch a thing, that day we watched the boy catch two whiting, with an expert hand cast, without the aid of a rod. I had to ‘hand it to the local’ J, and I did not mind one bit, being ‘shown up’ by a skilled child, it was lovely to watch him at work.  Comments Comments are closed. | Categories
