To make “kubbunj” (canoe), people used to go to the monsoon forest and they would see a suitable tree. They used to chop it down, carve it up and make kubbunj. People used to take a canoe on the saltwater. They used to use a harpoon to catch sea turtles and dugong. But here in the freshwater areas people used to take a canoe and shoot crocodiles for their skins. They used to take rifles made by non-Aboriginal people. But not now we get in a boat made by non-Aboriginal people, and we go anywhere, saltwater or freshwater.
