Weipa Festival - Aboriginal Dance Group from Djarragun College

The Aboriginal Dance Group from Djarragun College near Cairns performs dances at the Weipa Fest, Queensland, Australia, in the evening. After a Welcome Dance they perform the Mosquito dance (swatting away mosquitoes in the mangroves); the Cassowary Dance, a song about the Cassowary, a very large flightless bird native to the tropical forests of northeastern Australia; the Honey Tree Dance, where hunters find native honey in a tree, chop it down and enjoy the honey; they then do a "shake-a-leg" dance and the "Threebeat" dance, after which they leave the stage.
