Parramatta School Cultural Festival in Cairns - Pamagirri Aboriginal Dancers

Added by Oz Outback

The Pamagirri Aboriginal Dancers from Far North Queensland, Australia, perform at the Parramatta School Cultural Festival in Cairns. They perform, among others, a humourous version of the "Honey Tree Dance" in which a tree is cut down to get at bush honey of various quality. This is followed by the "Cassowary Dance" which shows the way the cassowary, a large flightless bird, is feeding, and spirited "shake-a-leg" dances.
