View of a group of aboriginal men posing on the Murray River. Three of the men float in a boat carved from a tree trunk. One man stands in the center and holds up a spear while the other two sit on either side of him. The rest of the men recline, sit, or stand on a fallen tree trunk that extends out into the river. One holds a fishing net and another a long spear pointed down into the water.
