WA RED CRAYFISH
Dano seen here with our first WA cray. The boys came with me in some pretty rough water to find where these fellas may be hangin’ out. The crays were not as abundant as usually due to the unseasonal warm water. This one was barbequed & drizzled with a garlic & butter sauce; of coarse crayfish must be accompanied with champagne.
ADRIAN
Adrian has worked as a tech arts teacher in some of the states northern schools. I enjoyed yarning to Adrian as he told his story & experiences teaching indigenous kids with his refined methods. Adrian’s philosophy was that if you have them make a table they will start, then probably not show up the next day. However, if you show them how to make a knife using a cache of old files he had access too, then they will see the task through. Along the way he would show them how to use the file for other woodwork projects that the tool was designed for. His knowledge of the land & its people within the region made for interesting banter. The piece of tree that you see will be made into a bush walking stick which Adrian has kindly offered to donate to the Carty Boys Foundation. We watched him make one for his brothers pending 60th birthday present. After he dressed the branch with a knife, smoothed the edges, applied some sealer then attached some binding to the handgrip, the result was a rare specie, lightly coloured, very strong, timber bush stick. Adrian reckons they are great for aiding the bushwalker to remove webs, branches & snakes from the trails
