Relatives of the two boys found dead in a Townsville river have launched a GoFundMe page to bring the boys’ bodies back to their hometown in Darwin for a cultural smoking ceremony in their honour.
As of this morning, the appeal has reached just over $6,700 of their $9,000 goal.
Advocate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander rights and family spokeswoman Gracelyn Smallwood thanked the local community for their search efforts and outpouring of support from Australia and globally.
