Borrgoron Coast To Creek Tour

Terry Hunter fourth generation pearler and proud Bardi man. We explored the tidal flats learning about all the sea creatures and hearing about the Bardi Jawi people’s customs and traditional coastal techniques. We foraged for Oysters & Terry smoked us up the rock oysters right on the beach, as he customarily does at the full moon - delicious!
By lighting the spinifex by the reef it calcifies the rock and opens the oysters.
During the full moon shell fish , fish are at their most plumpness and secreting spawn this creates the perfect environment and encourages reproduction and attracts the oysters to the rocks to reproduce for another harvest in a few years.
It is encouraged for visitors to forage for oysters during the full moon as it helps the area to rejuvenate. So it would be rude not to , the following morning we went down on low tide and went on the hunt, it was like a huge strawberry field but full of oysters, breakfast was a dozen fresh raw oysters of the rocks! Yum yum!Read more
