Boys from Djarragun College, a school for indigenous students near Cairns, Far North Queensland, perform dances from Murray Island in the Torres Strait Islands during a performance at the Sound Shell in Cairns during celebrations commemorating Mabo Day. They sing and dance "A.T. up" (about the Hammersley Iron Train, on which some Islander men used to work) and "Au meta lug bawki" (about Calm weather and sea) and then march off the stage; the singers still keep going for a while, however.
