This cruise was a special one during NAIDOC week. The dynamic duo of Uncle John Graham and Heidi worked so well together! We were so lucky to see a stingray and dolphins and so much local knowledge.

Our group had the most wonderful experience with the Jellurgal crew, Jailen, Heidi and Kaelyn and the Kokomo crew on the Wavebreak Island boat tour. They were so open and gracious about sharing their incredible culture with us and we felt so welcomed by their beautiful, kind souls. We learnt so much about the clans of the Yugambeh people especially during our beautiful yarning circle. Thank you for sharing your beautiful culture with us! We are so grateful!
