Nothing poops me more than thieves, you work so hard for the things you treat yourself to and some scumbag with sticky fingers just take. Worse thing is you can tell the cops but nothing will come of it.
How spectacular are those Falls in wet season, and like you said Karen, that water will flow til the end of time! Stunning place! I reckon if you wandered into Tackle Shop at Cooky, once word spreads, I reckon that Fly Reel would show up somewhere! And your 100% right, so much stuff to see in our own backyard and what a bloody awesome backyard we have! Safe Travels guys, look forward to the next episode!
Unreal mate. That sucks about the tackle. But how good are the falls!? My partner and I went to Barron Falls and got cool drone footage of it in full force in march this year. Was unreal.
Sorry to hear about the thievery folks , that’s never any good . Good old trevathan falls still rock . Amos bay was a nice place to go down off the mountain and chuck lures off the flat down the bottom , usta see pigs out there having a feed tween the land and the sea . Great days way back .
Karen, I would like to give you a different perspective on what is now commonly accepted by the mainstream narrative of "first nation" people. I do NOT intend this to be offensive, but rather a more accurate and respectful truth on the indigenous people of Australia. To call our Aboriginal brothers and sisters "first nation" people is disrespectful to the many and varied tribal cultures and practices and stories of the hundreds of recognised tribes across the Australian continent. There are 502 different dialects of Aboriginal language spoken across Australia and recognised. To say that this is national is completely incorrect as "first nations" implies national and in doing so lumps them all into the same bucket, nothing could be further from the truth. I have had the absolute pleasure to live and work in many Aboriginal communities and learn about the individual tribal issues, beliefs, cultures, ceremonies, stories etc, and they are all different in some way. This difference gives that particular tribe, area, people an identity that belongs to only those people and their forebears. We, as Australians need to respect the individuality and incredible difference in identity between the many peoples that make up our 'Aboriginal people' The inland way of life is totally different to the coastal way of life etc, and needs to be recognised as such, rather than just saying 'oh, you are first nations' and not respecting or recognising the unique difference of the many, many tribal aspects of these 'collective' people. I say this with total respect for all the indigenous groups across Australia and only wish the Government would also recognise this amazing diversity of people rather than throwing them into one unrecognisable group. I could talk about this for days, but that will do, I just hope you don't fall for this crap that is being shoved down our throats in order to satisfy politics. ps. I drool over your fishing vids, keep up the great work, and thanks.
Glad you like the videos. FYI, I’ve spent considerable time on country with TO’s all over the country and worked closely with them in joint management as a marine park ranger. Privately I’ve spent the most time in Arnhem Land with traditional owners and was even brought into the family and assigned a skin name from the matriarch. So with all due respect, although you may have ‘found’ my comment to be disrespectful - doesn’t mean it was. It’s just your opinion. First Nations (plural) does not assume they are all from one nation. It recognises all the ‘nationS’ before white settlement. To be honest, while hangin out eating turtle and slurping down mangrove worms in Arnhem Land, they called me a white fella and I called them black fellas. No one was offended. In my personal opinion, I’d like us to stop being so offended - and simply treat each other with courtesy and kindness. For me, the greatest travesty is that more Australians are not as mind blown as me and you when learning about the ancient cultures that have existed in these lands for Millenia. And just upon checking, here’s the suggestions from the “working with First Nations people website. 'First Nations' recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the sovereign people of this land. It goes further than 'First Australians' as it recognises various language groups as separate and unique sovereign nations. It is widely used to describe the First Peoples in Canada and other countries across the globe. Over recent years, the use of this term has grown in popularity. It is a better choice than many outdated and offensive terms described above.www.workingwithindigenousaustralians.info/content/Indigenous_Australians_3_Approrpiate_Terms.html
We "invaders" make up all kinds of words and phrases. Probably all offensive in their own way. I like traditional owners or custodians. Has anyone asked the aboriginals what they would like to be called? Just a thought...
@@barrymundi480 ten years ago when I worked with Quandamooka they preferred TO’s (traditional owners) but the few I’ve asked more recently up here in FNQ is First Nations.
@RyanMoodyFishing @RyanMoodyFishing I grew up on Groote eylandt in the gulf east arnhem land myself. And family up there prefer T.O. but you're right. Fnq indigenous I've found like to be called first nations too. Great mature response Karen. 👏
@@RyanMoodyFishing Hi Karen, I am so happy to see you have had many personal experiences on country and that shows you've "been around the block a few times " in this regard. This gives a far greater respect for your opinion as it comes from experience, not just an opinion. My experience is that I'm the bloke who wrote an Environmental Project back in '99 which was aimed at going into the 12 coastal communities of Cape York and setting up a ranger program equipping the participants with the knowledge to identify, quantify, and record environmental problems on their home country so projects could be written, funding and equipment sourced, and works executed to mitigate any problems, and train participants in Environmental management practices. There was a lot more to it than that, but that's the basic outline. This project took years of consultation and then 12 months full time to write and co-ordinate all the different aspects of it. The Federal Government adopted this Project as the base model for all Land and Sea Management across 11 million square kilometres of Northern Australia, including all marine territories within Australia's jurisdiction. The feral pig predation program was another one of mine, identifying that in excess of 95% of turtle nests were being totally destroyed by feral pigs on the Western coastline of Cape York. My Wife and I self funded all the ground work to quantify that figure over 10 months of nearly every weekend out in the boat, walking beaches, recording and photographing results over hundreds of kilometres many times over. I've been around the block a couple of times too. I really appreciate your thoughts on what I said, I guess what I am concerned about most is the dilution of language, culture etc, because it is impossible to get back after "good ideas" destroy it. The road to Hell is paved with "good ideas". What we have in this country is valuable, unique, culturally precious, and is slowly being lost to the detriment of all Australians. Thanks, and keep up the great fishing videos.
