Napoleon and Jamal, Hammond Island

Dean Saffron

The ocean is our playground, our highway, and our home. We wanted to be photographed here on Kirriri (Hammond Island) because the water is where we belong. Out here, we make our own boats, find our own adventures, and move the way our ancestors did  always connected to the sea. Life on the island is about freedom, fun and knowing that the ocean will always be part of who we are.
