Keek and Gidgi are the kayep ngooni (water brothers). They love to swim in the oceans and rivers. As the final days of Bunuru creep closer Gidgi wants to go swimming one last time, against the advice of his mother and Elders. Can Keek stop his older brother from making a bad decision before it’s too late?

The Dolphin and the Spearfisher, a coming-of-age tale based on a Nyoongar Dreamtime Story, is timeless and provides a rich, direct and continued connection to the Nyoongar ancestors that have come before.
