“The Barramundi Dreaming is very strong here at Mornington Island. The Barramundi people travelled from around Booraloola in  the Northern Territory down into Queensland. They travelled through freshwater country and saltwater islands of the coast. That is  why the Barramundi can be found in both places. Barramundi people cannot eat Barramundi as it is their totem. If they do they will  become very sick.”
