Scene 4 is set in Broome and Yaruwu Country. In our scene we have two main animals, a whale (Yari) and eight crocodiles (linygurra). We arrive in Broome at the beach wondering what we are looking for. A task is given to us but first we take a rest. Unfortunately, lurking linygurra are hiding in the shadows. Stunned Alex steps up, and faces the danger as kids try to pull her down but she stays strong and faces the linygurra.
