This dancer is from Aurukun and was participating in the Laura Dance Festival, Cape York, Qld, Australia.
This 3 day festival is a gathering of many Indigenous dance troupes from across Cape York and the Torres Strait, to showcase stories through dance routines, sharing history and unity as one.
It is the time where families old and new meet, exchange, rejuvenate and pass on knowledge and history .

I am an elderly retired nurse, who now has a passion for photography. I love sharing my experiences plus learning from others. A never ending quest for improvement in telling my stories.
