Talk:Aboriginal dugout canoe

untitled

Horribly written article. Someone should adopt it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.197.198.234 (talk) 00:44, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Aboriginal <boat style>

There should probably be either:

• A single article covering aboriginal watercraft, with sections per technology; or
• Multiple articles one per major watercraft type (preferable long term), such as:
  • Aboriginal dugout canoe
  • Aboriginal bark canoe
  • Aboriginal outrigger
  • ... etc.

Currently we have only this article, and an article about scarred trees. I would like to just launch in but the last time I added loads of content in a similar fashion it was deleted, so I am demotivated to do anything. prat (talk) 23:58, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Related to the above - this article only mentions Arnhem Land and does not say whether the dugout canoes were used elsewhere in Australia. The geographical area of the use of dugouts should be defined. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:59, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
