Going for Oysters follows the book Pigs and Honey; it shows a bit of the way of life for the people of Aurukun on their own land. A young girl gets to go with some of her family up the Thuukal river in search of oysters. Through the telling of their two day journey you are given a small window into the connections and customs within a family of the Aurukun people. Review by: Fiona
