Murrindindi told us how the Aboriginal people
carefully carved the bark out of trees to make
canoes. You can still see some of these trees
in our local area.
They used saplings to help
carve the canoes from the tree
trunks.
The didgeridoo was made
from a dead tree trunk.
Murrindindi showed us
how the termites had
hollowed out the trunk.
Murrindindi showed us his
kangaroo coat. The fur
kept the Aboriginal people
warm and in wet weather
the skin was waterproof.
Murrindindi showed
us the possum fur
his uncle had given
him. Only the
leaders or elders
were allowed to
wear the possum
coats.
The Aboriginal
children had
possum balls which
they kicked through
the trees. The balls
were filled with
grass.
