WATCH: Dave Rastovich & A Pod Of Dolphins

This is ‘Wajung’, a magical new little short from Nathan Oldfield, featuring Rasta surfing with a pod of dolphins.

Here’s a little more insight into the film from Oldfield:

‘Wajung’ is the name given to the bottlenose dolphin by the Arakwal People, the traditional custodians of this region of Bundjalung Country on the Far North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. “Wajung can live for over fifty years and they typically live as a community as residents along a particular stretch of coast. As a result, they know the local seascape intimately.

Wajung are an important totem for Saltwater People. Wajung give messages about relationships between clan members, create links between ancestors and the past and also help to connect people with places and events in Country.

There are many stories of Wajung and Saltwater People communicating and interacting with one another, including cooperative fishing practices, sharing resources together and participating in mutual play in the sea.
