Sometimes you don’t know where life will take you. When he was a kid, all Larrakia man Daniel Motlop wanted to do was play Australian Rules Football (AFL). And he did! But after a successful professional career on the footy field, it was a one centimetre long green ant that changed his life completely.

Check out Daniel’s new passion for Indigenous food and beverages, including his unique Green Ant Gin: https://www.somethingwild.com.au/ and https://www.seven-seasons.com.au/ 

The Larrakia people are the traditional owners and custodians of Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia. Saltwater Stories of the Larrakia is a podcast that shares our knowledge of Country, community, family and culture with you so you can understand our deep connection to our home.
