About Avalon Karatau

Gurumba Bigi - Hello!

Meet Avalon Karatau, a proud member of the Badtjala people, also known as Ocean Fork. Avalon is Yirrayirra Dhal Guradyi, a Bush Tukka medicine woman hailing from K'gari, (Fraser Island), off the coast of Harvey Bay, Queensland.

Now, I might not be the best Bush Tukka expert myself, but I do know a thing or two about living off the land—especially when it comes to finding the best camping spots and avoiding the business end of a snake!

But Avalon is the best to ask:

Avalon's skins (totems) are as follows:

  • Yul'Lu (Porpoise): Quick and clever in the water. Much like my own swimming style, if I do say so myself.

  • Gugug (Owl): Wise and watchful, perfect for spotting the best campfire spots.

  • Winha nga nha (Clever One): The ultimate bush survivalist, always ready for the unexpected—like that time I mistook a wombat for a rock. Classic Coight!

Territory:

Avalon's territory spans from Tinian Creek, Fraser Island, Double Island Point, Tin Can Bay, Bauple Mountain, and north to Burrum Heads in Queensland.

Avalon is a direct descendant of Jack Noble Wonnamutta, the last clever man and Black Tracker of her people.

Jack was renowned for helping the Victorian Troopers capture the infamous Ned Kelly gang back in 1879 to July 1880. Quite the family legacy, I'd say!
