The Big Gull - Karoro
Short Film (Full Length) – 1978
Gulls play an important part in the affairs of humans. Firstly as a symbol: they are associated for most people with the sea, hence the name ‘seagull’ , which seems to apply to all types of gulls. Secondly as a problem, or a series of problems, mostly related to human methods of waste disposal.– Narrator Sir Robert Falla
Another ancient practice is the dropping of shellfish on hard sand or rock.– Narrator Sir Robert Falla
