Just found you! I've been following a number of deep backcountry explorers/videogapher, closer to home and now down your way. Terrific work Nate! Keep it up as you can! I've been an all outdoor guy all my life but these legs and lungs have reduced my range. Don't get me wrong. I love every day of my groovy life! Love getting out with you brothers too. My thanks to you and the people you allow me to meet! Will support as possible. I'm in Kimberley, B.C. Western Canada, Kootenay lands. May we learn together.

I worked in Yarrabah for about six months. Lived in Holloways, and Yorkeys. As you say we also worked in the communities back up the channel towards Cairns on the southern side. Beautiful place and people with a heart of gold. It was CRAWLING KING SNAKES if I remember correctly and I still have the cassette to prove it

I just love Native people. I have visited 38 different cultures around the world and I have loved each group. I believe the introduction of religion and alchol/drugs have been the end of so many beautiful cultures. If you get the chance please, please, please visit and get to know a native group. I spent two years with a Native American family, learning everything I could about hunting, tracking, fishing, and philosophy. The best education in my life. Nate, you should come out and visit us in Vancouver BC. I can get you into grizzly bears, coastal wolves, and if we are lucky, a Spirit bear. Lots of other animals too. The Native groups in Canada are just fantastic people who love and respect Nature like original people around the world.

Incredible footage mate of some true salt of the earth Aurukun Ladies that have taken you out on Country. I was very fortunate to spend 5 years here on and off living with the locals in the township and experience culture first hand out on Country. The homelands of Aurukun and the people of the homelands have always cleansed my soul and made me realise what is most valuable. Family and Country and respect for both. Thank you for this amazing great footage. Topsey is an absolute Legend. From my heart I wish all the Ladies a very special Xmas aswell as a safe and happy New Year for them all in 2024.
