Saltwater crocodiles aren’t just incredible and fearsome reptiles, they are also culturally important in the Darwin region as a Larrakia totem. Steven Dawson is a Larrakia ranger who takes care of Country and the plants and animals in it, including the iconic saltwater crocodile. 

The Larrakia people are the traditional owners and custodians of Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia. Saltwater Stories of the Larrakia is a podcast that shares our knowledge of Country, community, family and culture with you so you can understand our deep connection to our home.
