Hunting for dinner in DEADLY WATERS off Northern Australia |Coral trout & Crayfish

EPISODE 106 There is an abundance of food in these remote waters off Cape York in Northern Australia but there are also alot of creatures out there that will take your life, the Saltwater Crocodile being the main concern. The Uutaalnganu Tribe have been hunting these waters for thousands of years and seem to have an understanding, a connection or a knowing which has to be witnessed to be believed. Come along for the ride and make sure you subscribe for weekly episodes.
Huge shout out to Tremain and the family for having me out on country and sharing all this with us.

As a kid I grew up watching Malcolm Douglas and the Bush Tucker Man. I'm sure that both men would be proud to see you still capturing Australia as it is and as it was. What your doing is very important for all Australians thank you Nate. Ps Malcolm was a bit rougher when it come to the cooking segments

[@WildReaches]

Haha he was wasn’t he! That’s really nice to hear mate and yes hopefully they would be.

[@Dzjengiskahn]

What an amazing Episode. Loved your story in the end about how the tribes lost their land and essentially their identity. You sharing these stories makes their stories and voices heard. The respect and knowledge of the land they have is a true treasure. You're also sharing it to the world. Here I am up in The Netherlands learning so much about these people and there cultures. Thank you for sharing these stories!

[@WildReaches]

It’s so amazing that you can be so far away learning about Australias Aboriginal culture through my adventures. I think sharing their stories is a way for us to all come together. So glad you’re enjoying it

[@craigmcdonald8348]

Words of wisdom at the end there Nate, well said.. I could watch your vids all day mate, just love it.👍

[@WildReaches]

Cheers Craig, glad it came across well.

[@JillyBean70]

To hear the passion in your voice about what you see, the history you learn and for it not to all be forgotten.....it now videos like this that will remain forever. We thank you for that.....♥♥

[@WildReaches]

🙏🏼this beautiful country has a lot of healing to do and I feel like talking about the history, recognising First Nations people and their amazing culture and planning the future together is the best way forward.

[@Stevos_HookedonRods4844]

I Take my Hat off to you Nath for the words you spoke towards the end about the younger generation of Traditional Indigenous people looking to their elders to keeping the culture alive. 🙏 Absolutely spectacular country, Thank you for bringing what you do. It has been a brilliant season so far. How unplanned things work. Thank you Tremain & crew for showing us your country. Cheers Stevo

[@WildReaches]

Amazing hey, sometimes the things that aren’t planned are the best! Glad you’re enjoying it Stevo!

[@adamwellington3849]

Wow wow wow being indigenous myself I truely respect you for helping show how amazing our culture is. Funny enough I’m also learning off you. I have been sheltered from my culture and it’s only now I’m starting to immerse myself in it. So thanks again, I’m loving what you do and I can’t wait for the next episode.

[@WildReaches]

That’s awesome to hear Adam, thanks for letting me know mate. 🙏🏼

[@hanneswimmer3425]

Hello Nath, I happened to come across you at the beginning of the Corona Pandemic and the lockdowns looking for nice videos that distract from the situation. Since then I've been sitting here in Austria/Europe and eagerly awaiting each and every one of your episodes. If only there were more people like you who pay so much attention to our world and foreign cultures! You are a great positive role model and I wish you that you can experience many more beautiful and instructive adventures together with the traditional owners. Many thanks and continued happiness and success! 🙂 John

[@WildReaches]

thanks mate, brings back assume memories, I was born on Samarai Island PNG , lived with the locals on the plantation. Goodenough and Furgeson Island. I was 13 when I came to Aust. I would not trade my life up to the age of 13 for all the money in the world. You are correct, the world will never recover if the knowledge is lost. Keep up the gr8 work mate.

[@WildReaches]

Sounds like an amazing childhood mate, you’re a lucky man

[@ravenfeader]

I spent some time with some South Eastern elders and teens who took me walking throughout the Coorong and located everything with oral maps and memory , one lunchtime was at a giant midden heap. We collected piles of cockles /pipis in front of the sandstone rock plates black from Neolithic cooking . We loaded the rocks up with cockles and covered them with a dry grass and fired them up to see these elders come alive is brilliant and all had a wonderful love of humour .. People just love a day out with the family at the beach playing and eating fresh seafood and having a laugh..

[@WildReaches]

It’s such a simple pleasure isn’t it, hunting/ foraging and cooking brings everyone together. That must’ve been an amazing experience

[@martinstockamp8240]

Yes it’s an amazing culture which I respect wholeheartedly but why do the First Nations people get to keep their lifestyle with government payments from the taxpayers! I’ve paid for my house by working which is more than than the the people you call TO’s have ever done! Let them live on country without our influence.

[@WildReaches]

Hi Martin. I think we need to look at the current scenario with empathy, not anger or jealousy. After spending so much time in communities it is very clear to me that life for First Nations People is not easy, they are still torn between living on country and living in the community where their grandparents were dragged to "literally". There are very limited opportunities for them to move to a city and get a job, rent a property, get a mortgage etc etc because they didnt grow up in a household where that was the norm. I know my parents both had jobs and a mortgage and their parents before them and so it was instilled in me. In remote communities across Northern Australia there are on average 16 people per dwelling, this isnt something i would envy whether it comes with a dismal monthly handout from the government or not. Remember too that there are plenty of non indigenous Australians on welfare. I agree that the current scenario isnt right but I dont believe its the fault of indigenous Australians. Its the product of several governments over the past 120 -160 odd years and it just seems that no one has come up with a better system since. I think we should be working together to come up with a solution and bring everyone together. Thanks for the comment Martin

[@martinstockamp8240]

@@WildReaches apologies for commenting while on the beers! I agree with you in a lot of ways but what I said is still true, I live in Western Australia and you look at the problems across this state and others. I’m not sure what the solution is but the amount of taxpayer dollars being invested in indigenous communities and programs is not right, because it’s not working. If you want to live on country then great but if you want to live in the city then you need to tow the line. I wish we could all be harmonious and maybe it will happen someday, the white folk are just as guilty ,I agree ,it’s always the minority that tarnish the majority . Like I said I don’t know what the answer is, so maybe I’ll just keep my opinions to myself.
