Love this book

Such an amazing book recounting yarns from the late Uncle Seaman. Such a significant, inspirational and well-respected Zenadth Kes elder. Plenty of stories and images of family from the Torres Strait which I haven't seen before, very grateful to have these documented so beautifully.
