Along the Darling River (Baaka), Aboriginal people shaped trees into living records of culture. Scarred trees, ring trees and “twisters” still mark pathways, resources and stories of the Barkandji people. These Culturally Modified Trees (CMT's) connect us to Country and the knowledge carried across generations.
📷 Bindara On The Darling located on the west side of the Darling between Menindee and Pooncarie has some beautiful examples of CMT's including the very large canoe tree. If you're lucky you may get a tour of the property and these special trees (like we did) when visiting, thanks to Barb & John.

🌕🎣 Does a full moon mean better fishing?
They say a full moon often improves fishing along the Darling for freshwater species because the increased light boosts nocturnal feeding and makes baitfish more active at night.
What do you think - Do you catch more fish on a full moon?
