My museum has landed a whopping great big new exhibition!
Murray Cod are one of the largest freshwater fish in the world and an apex predator in the waterways where they live.
Their sculpture is accompanied with a colourful animation produced by Aunty Lorraine Tye that shows a Dreamtime legend from along the Murray and Murrumbidgee rivers.
This exhibition shares a variety of perspectives on Murray Cod, as well as discussing First Nations and European fishing practices.
You can also read observations from John Oxley, Charles Sturt and Mary Gilmore, as well as learning why these fish make great fathers.
In recent years Murray Cod have become a premium aquaculture product that’s grown in our region and one that has developed from the research of John Lake, who the Narrandera Fisheries Centre is named after.
Come and meet Gugabul in the Irrigation Museum building at Griffith Pioneer Park Museum.
