Aboriginal traditions

Synopsis

Eating turtle remains is a significant tradition among the Aboriginal Australians. The Australian giant turtle, which can weigh up to 200 kilos, is considered a delicacy. Here in Australia, it is common to see Aborigines fishing for turtles, which are one of their favorite foods alongside the manatee. Catching such a large animal is challenging, and when they succeed, it becomes a reason for a family gathering. A fire is prepared, and the community comes together to enjoy this special meal, celebrating their cultural heritage and connection to the land.
