The Tide Waits for No One
The Tide Waits For No-One takes us back to the time of early colonisation of Quandamooka country, where the hunting of Dugong and industrial scale processing became a lucrative marketplace.
Between 1847 and 1969 the commercial processing of oil, bones, hides and meat occurred with very little regard of sustainability, rather Europeans arrived with the perception of ‘Bounteous Seas’ and very little recognition of the sophisticated land and sea management systems upheld by the Quandamooka Peoples.
