The Saltwater Story – full length documentary
This documentary recreates an indigenous canoe journey that hasn’t been made for over 150 years. Follow the Bundjalung/ Yugambeh elders and youth as they build the canoes and paddle them 80km from Koombumerri country (the Gold Coast) to Minjerribah (Stradbroke Island). An incredible experience and such a powerful, positive story.
“Just sat through the best hour of film I have experienced in years. The Saltwater Story traces the 80km canoe journey that used to unite two trading Aboriginal peoples between what is now Gold Coast and North Stradbroke. Five stars to film maker Jeff Licence for such a remarkable piece of cross-generational and cross-cultural story telling. Beautifully shot, brilliantly told and such a tapestry of humour, history and hope.”

Created for the Australian Institute of Architects, this short doco celebrates 30 years of the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers Architecture Awards, by offering a portfolio of ideas and opinions on the changing face of the architecture, urban design and development in this region. Greatly assisted by Philip Follent and Amy Degenhart, architecture experts.
“A truly professional film maker brings out the best credentials of their subjects that surprise even the subjects themselves. A rare ability is also to document critically yet with respect. Jeff Licence does all this and with a youthful curiosity about the world of architecture. He tells a story that very few architects could effectively convey and in so doing has promoted brilliantly the region of Gold Coast/ Northern Rivers and its architects. Thanks Jeff.”Professor Philip Follent – Former Qld State Architect & Gold Coast City Architect
