ALT 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝟭𝟲-𝟭𝟳 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗮, is probably best known for its traditional dance program, a schedule of lively performances from groups around the region dancing and singing the stories from the past - of connection to country and to culture. The audience is invited to sit under the festoon lights to watch and listen to the dreamtime / creation stories of the Gulf Country being re-enacted and kept alive for future story tellers. In this image, old Dinah Norman, a Yanyuwa Elder, is passing on traditional song to Nancy McDinny who is the next generation of traditional singers in Borroloola. They are singing the song about a dugong hunter, who jumps out of the water and shakes the water off, before getting back into a canoe!
