Yulunga: jumpinpin
TLF ID M006657
This activity is based on a description to Troy Meston by Uncle Ronny Ahwang of Brisbane, who told of his days fishing off the jetty on Stradbroke Island and how it was similar to a game they played. This is an adapted game loosely based on the essential components of traditional spear fishing. This activity is similar to dodge ball and can be played both in and out of the water. It is based on the principles of fishing — hunter and prey. The Yulunga: Traditional Indigenous Games resource was developed to provide all Australians with a greater understanding and appreciation of Indigenous culture by celebrating the games that Indigenous Australians have been playing across the country for hundreds of years.
