Aboriginal People Of Tallebudgera Creek
The Yugambeh people were the indigenous people of the Tallebudgera Creek as they did live there many years ago. They were said to have in the winter moved to the mountains and come back to the mangroves when the weather is warmer. This is because they were aware that their prey needed to repopulate so they left to the mountains, where there is still food. This allowed their prey to reproduce while they were away.
They were like any aboriginal tribe, using sharpened sticks to hunt and thrive well in their clan. They also used rock traps to capture fish. They did this by placing a rock wall in low tide, high and sturdy enough that when high tide comes it will not break. They will place a generous amount of bait in the pool and wait for high tide to come. When the water rises to high tide, the water will surge over the rock trap, with the bait drawing in fish. When high tide returns to low tide the fish will be trapped and will simply be needed to be speared and you have your prey there.
The Aboriginal people must have been very intelligent as they had to figure out their ways of hunting and surviving by themselves without the internet we have today! If the mangroves of Tallebudgera Creek were to be destroyed they would be crushing a sacred area that should be kept safe and cherished.
Dynamite Developments could be given a fine for doing so and possibly worse.
It is important for each generation to protect its natural resources such as the Tallebudgera Mangrove ecosystem so that it can be enjoyed by future generations.
