Ginga by Rebecca Haala

Rebecca Haala

The Ginga, a saltwater crocodile, is the totem animal to many indigenous people throughout western Arnhem Land and Kakadu. They are also a food source, though their hunting takes a lot of effort. Especially the old Gingas are highly respected by the locals, as they would rather try to move them instead of hunting them, in case they make their way into the locals territory.
