Description

This original canoe was hand-carved by a local maker/s from the Gove/Nhulunbuy area in the Northern Territory. While its exact history remains unknown, the visible wear suggests extensive use. Canoes like this were essential for crossing rivers, navigating coastal waters, fishing and transporting goods or people between communities. They reflect the ingenuity and deep connection Aboriginal people have with their land and waterways.

The image of Aboriginal people in canoes is provided for reference only and does not depict this specific canoe. However, it offers a valuable glimpse into how similar canoes would have appeared in use on the water.
