| Painting Title: Gyneburra Jarugareitja (Hunting
and gathering Butterfish) Artist: Haydn (Kudburra - Snapper) Sansbury Code: HNJG Medium: Acrylic on canvas - block mounted Size: 135cm x 60cm Price: Aud$3,300. Description: Once a year, out of tradition, the Aboriginal
community of Point Pearce gather together to follow the butterfish
trail, in honour of the old fisherman of the past. They meet on the
beach on the mainland, hop into boats and cruise to Waralte (Wardang
Island).
After a minutes silence, out of respect for their ancestors, they fish
for the whole day using modern day harpoons (spear guns). At the end of
the day they gather back on the mainland and share their catch with the
community.
