Torres Strait Islander Boys from Djarragun College, a school for indigenous students near Cairns, Far North Queensland, perform dances from Murray Island in the Torres Strait during a performance at the Sound Shell in Cairns during celebrations commemorating Mabo Day. They sing and dance "Au meta lug bawki" (about Calm weather and sea) and "A.T. up" (about the Hammersley Iron Train, on which some Islander men used to work) and "Sama iye rofe le" (a song from the Pacific).
