Image: E078217 Canoe detail 1 E078217 canoe, bark, Hunter
Valley, New South Wales, Australia. This canoe is from the
Hunter Valley region of New South Wales, Australia. The canoe is
constructed from a single length of bark, possibly stringy bark.
The bark sheet has been folded together at each end and secured
with a wooden peg and bark lashings. The inside surface of the
canoe is smooth while rough bark makes up the outer surface of
the canoe. Canoes of this type were generally used in the inland
waters of south-east Australia. - Emma Furno - © Australian
