ngurruwarra

Aerial view of ancient Indigenous fish traps on the South Wellesley Islands, Queensland. These ancient, crescent-moon-shaped stone walls are built into the intertidal zones and are used to trap fish and turtles as the tide recedes.

In the Kayardild language (spoken by the Kaiadilt people of the South Wellesley Islands in the Gulf of Carpentaria), the word for stone fish traps is ngurruwarra.
