- Summary:
-
"While on assignment for the National geographic magazine to photograph aboriginal cave paintings at Oenpelli Mission, I encountered this family at the famous river crossing. The tide was up, so with wife Mare, I waited with Namandawawok, his wife Alanjingu and son 'Ian' (whose native name could not be given for tribal reasons) for several hours until the water level receded. When the time came, Namanjawawok sent his family ahead, just in case sharks or crocodiles lay in waiting!" -- Description supplied by photographer.
