Description : |
Two Aboriginal boys playing with a wooden toy canoe, Groote Eylandt.
This image of small boys with their boat bears comparison with images of white Australian children playing with toy boats and with rowing boat. The fascination with water and things that float crosses cultures. This image has been reproduced with the kind permission of the Umbakumba Community Council. |
