Namarnkol, the barramundi, is a very important fish for us Bininj (Aboriginal people). Namarnkol are found in the ocean, in floodwaters, and in freshwater billabongs, rivers and creeks. In the old days, people used to spear them with djalakirradj (three-pronged fish spears) and walabi (traditional triangular nets). Nowadays, we catch them with fishing lines and modern nets. Namarnkol are most easily caught from the end of the monsoon (March -April) until the humid "build up" season (October November). There are sites in lots of clan countries where the ancestral Barramundi placed itself as a Dreaming. Men and women will say "My Dreaming is Barramundi, it placed itself in my country.”
