Sea Darwin is proud to facilitate SUNSET DREAMING a unique Darwin Harbour Cruise, hosted by Gullawun, AKA Roque Lee. Roque is a Traditional Owner; he belongs to a large and highly respected Larrakia family resident in Darwin.
The Larrakia stories of the Dreamtime depict an epic interaction of the sun, the wind and the rainbow serpent. We haven’t come across the Rainbow Serpent yet, but here at Sea Darwin we know about the first two; the sun and the wind and what to expect on Darwin Harbour.
