00:00This particular cave is special because my grandmother and my grandfather were involved
00:17in creating awareness for these beautiful places and this is one of them.
00:21The dreaming story that's connected to this cave is special for me and my family.
00:26The dreamy spirit is the ocean spirit and it relates back to the Nyogi dreaming story.
00:30A lot of the old people would recognise that spirit connected to the ocean here through
00:36the cave systems and it's always been acknowledged.
00:42I was coming out to the coast fishing and diving and I was visiting the caves, having
00:48access to the caves and I was playing music in there.
00:50It was very grounding for me and reminded me of the old people that I grew up with.
00:54It reminded me of what I was doing anyway and I decided to share that experience because
00:57everyone kept asking me if they could come.
