The High Court decision in the Blue Mud Bay case, means the traditional owners of the region have exclusive rights regarding commercial and recreational fishing in tidal waters overlying Aboriginal land. Our "Saltwater - Yirrkala Bark Paintings of Sea Country" exhibition, was a major vehicle for communicating to the High Court Indigenous law and culture of the sea and was seen as an important determinant of the High Court's Blue Mud Bay Decision.

The Yilpara Homeland in Blue Mud Bay presents the music of Garrangali. In collaboration with The Mulka Project we produced: three music videos, a documentary and CD cover to promote the self-titled debut album. Yilpara's leader, Djambawa Marawili describes the concept behind the album: “We are the the Garrangali, descendants of the crocodile. This project is about the ancestral land, where the first Baru man walked the earth.”
