DescriptionBlack and white linocut print of two people in a canoe fishing on the Murray River, each has caught a fish. The inscription along the top of the image reads 'Feel's like a big one mate I bet this one's a Ponde. Yes but on my line this fish feel's like a Pilarki.'. Ponde (Pondi) is a Murray cod; Pilarki is a callop (golden perch, yellow belly).SignificanceIan Abdulla's paintings offer a window to the life of an Aboriginal family living on the Murray River in the mid-20th century.
