AMAZING Catch and Cook | ABORIGINAL FEAST at the tip of Cape York

This was a special day. An amazing catch and cook at the northern most tribal area of the Australian mainland. These boys took me in and showed me the whole process from hunting out around their islands to cooking the catch with Hot rocks under ground.
Make sure you subscribe and come along for the ride.
Thankyou to Uncle Tommy and Michael for sharing your knowledge and stories. And thankyou to all the boys for welcoming me in to your home.

[@marcellussabatino5091]

Thanks brother for your time documenting this, your patience and understanding goes a long way towards the Indigenous Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders. Second to none no doubt! Love this we need more people like yourself in Australia 👏🏾💯

[@WildReaches]

You’re welcome mate, I love what I do

[@Shane.Martin]

Not since growing up watching Malcolm Douglas have I enjoyed so much watching a series of videos. Thank you so much to you and the traditional owners for allowing a glimpse into this amazing world. Much respect from a born and raised Perth boy.

[@WildReaches]

You’re welcome mate. That’s very inspiring to be considered there with the legendary Malcolm Douglas. Thanks

[@Shane.Martin]

You most definitely are providing content that only he could bring and for that I thank you very much as Malcolm to me was an absolute legend and inspiration for how much I love our fine country and respect the traditional owners way of life like I do today.

[@shilo3158]

Absolutely love the culture and the respect they have for the land and life, coming from nz wicked to see 👌

[@EdwardPootchemunka]

all that cooked turtle make my mouthwater❤❤

[@Yelnats87]

[@jamessilby1814]

Went dugong n turtle hunting last week with the darumbal mob from rockhampton for a kup murri, an what a experience it was, being native to aotearoa new zealand and learning from the indigenous people of Australia will stay with me forever.

[@aidanwesley7605]

[@richard217]

[@JillyBean70]

Wow.......what an amazing thing to watch......no difference to a farmer killing its stock to feed their family and ours......all meat we eat was once alive n kicking....Well done Nath n the boys !!

[@WildReaches]

good point jill! thankyou

[@jayhaagmans3377]

Man, this series is mind blowing. Really really enjoying it so far, these legends are just so cool, my kind of people. Listening to the old fellas talk is absolutely mesmerising, I could sit and listen to them forever. Dude, that turtle looked amazing, I’ve never tried it like that either, sitting back bloody drooling, haha. And the fact everyone gets together and just bonds and gets on with it and shares it al around is what we all should do more of. I can’t wait to get back up that way, very soon hopefully. Thanks so much legend man. Truly loving it mate.

[@WildReaches]

That was my takeaway from the day too mate, sharing all that time together. I learn so many valuable life lessons out on country with different mob, lessons that i then bring home and try to implement into my life and this one, being more present and making time for friends and family was a big one.

[@420kiwiwarrior]

Interesting similar to a Maori hangi cuzzies,Would love to try some hearty food like that gonna try croc soon had kanga bangers they are different lol Bara is one of the best fish n one of my faves i've ever had.Aus kai is good but not the pies haha

Thanks for the journey & incite into the cultural ways Nath 🙏🙏 I've had Hangi with the Maoris & Fijians before, & that looked epic Cheers

[@solwarapisin4948]

I whould call this Torres Straights Islanders feast hence different cooking, different language, different identity , different people with a different indigenous flag ...!!. Different from Aboriginal feast and Aboriginal people of Australia....correct me if wrong!!.... Good video 👍

[@WildReaches]

This is on mainland Australia.

[@matthewjmaerson9661]

Aboriginal people and Torres strait Islander have been mixing in the Cape York long before the white Man came it's different up in far North QLD because their culture is a mix of Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal in hunting, dancing,eating etc. Just try Go up and tell them Blackfullas up there that they're not Aboriginal. You'll be in for a shock!I know for a fact you've never been to North Queensland!😂😅

[@justinekusu789]

What a way to start your journey 🔥🔥

[@davodinkum9090]

not all humans share the same culture. we as humans should respect these different cultures even if we don't fully understand them. after all a little mutual respect goes a long way.

Deadly Video😍

[@OneHundredPercent-100]

This is brilliant and informative. Its actually good to see indigenous Australians hunting, foraging and cooking in the way its been done for many, many centuries. 49:08 Are these Mantaray or Stingray skins? It's the shape of them? If so, their huge!! Im probably real wrong here but, that gut feeling 😂 Great viewing.

Meet so many lovely ppl 15 yrs ago. When I was in injinu Sardis bamaga. Need to get back up there. Fishing of jetty in bamaga watching locals spear squid as they drifted under the walkway so many great memories hunting in swans meeting too penny and his boys out on scrub bull pig hunt. Then getting invited to his house. Just best memory of my trip

Absolutely amazing Nate, I would love to know before bottles of soy/ etc what they used in the old days. Love hearing the old guy's with their knowledge of what you take and how much. I (as I'm sure many have) am coming a long way to understand this culture through what you are doing. From a natural born "white" fella I really appreciate what you are showing the world. Cheers Mate

[@WildReaches]

Well that’s great to hear. I’m learning a lot too mate. Yeah I wonder too, maybe just salt and flavours from different leaves.. not sure

[@2and2Adventures]

Another ridiculously good video Nath, just missed you yesterday headed north from Childers! Safe travels on your journey, if you ever need somewhere to pop the rooftop in Tully drop us a message

Great balance of presenting the difficult topic explained very well although it's quite simple to some who can understand it easily, fascinating, thank you but mate come on , you are walking past some incredible ledges or estuary mouths ? ! How about a flick or 2 with the slim twitcher ???;! 😂

[@powersend]

@34:00 more like the title ur boys harpooned has swam off with the tip of the harpoon in it…. The boat pushed the stick with the turtle on one end and the brother on the other end… either the brother had to let go of harpoon/spear, or the turtle had to break off, or the spear would’ve broken…

[@deedeelemons2035]

This was so special! Nathan, my fella is waki waki tribe, but has never did this, the fact,, no women there, can I ask if them fellas take a brother for a trip, it would mean a lot to us, as 28 years marriage, he’s a good fella, he would love this shit, he 47, pretty fit

[@WildReaches]

Is that Waka waka? Gayndah area? I’m not sure but I imagine if he was up there and showed some interest they’d be happy to take him out.

I feel if it is a custom and tradition, then use traditional tools only. I respect the right but feel the rules are lax and need looking at.

Why dont you move up there with your wife and kids?

I agree with the sentiment of traditional hunting. But shouldn’t be allowed to hunt with white man tools . Boats with outboards. Use canoes as your ancestors did to give the animal a chance

[@waynecassidy6145]

Can you please explain to me why there’s no women involved in all that process, is it against their culture? I presume that food leftovers the women get to eat as well. TIA 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[@WildReaches]

Hunting turtle and dugong is Men Business in all the tribes / nations iv spent time with. Just like alot of things are womens business and strictly not for men. All those bowls on the table at the end there were to go home to each individual family for men, women and children. The men hardly ate any before going home actually, just the liver halfway through the day.

[@claudiodippolito5686]

Sorry So what! But doesn’t make it right in these current times. As a duck hunter of over 40 years plus in Victoria, I’m about to lose my rights to hunt ducks. But if I was indigenous I would still be able to hunt ducks. This double standards are ridiculous and for me to watch this and say it’s okay. Sorry your wrong.

[@WildReaches]

Youre entitled to your opinion Claudio as we all are. Im not saying youre right or wrong cause thats not up to me to decide thats on our government but its not the fault of indigenous people of this country thats for sure.

[@bayi-gubi]

"Indigenous peoples already have places allocated for hunting".

[@bradk8702]

@@WildReachesNo. You are hiding behind wigs in Canberra that are constrained by laws introduced many years before the times when we had to explain to our children why we have to use paper straws now to try to help save endangered turtles. I don’t think the turtles care about 60,000 year old customs given that they were here 100 to 200 million years ago and are just trying to survive.
