Laura Quinkan Dance Festival - Yarrabah Community Dancers

Added by Oz Outback

Yarrabah is an Aboriginal community of mainly Gudanyji and Yidinyji people near Cairns. Children from Yarrabah do a few dances, (including of a boy fishing and being stalked by a crocodile) followed by a performance of men and boys of the Gibuy Wallaburra Yidinyji from Yarrabah at the Laura Dance and Cultural Festival, Cape York, Far North Queensland, Australia, in 2001. The large shield is traditional among the Gudanyji and Yidinyji people of the region.
