Aboriginal Marndiwala Initiation Ceremonies in Borroloola

Young initiates

Young Yanyuwa boys “daru” or initiates pose with their “boomerangs” made of bark that they throw at men who then will have to dance for them at their ceremony in Borroloola, near the south coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria in the Northern Territory.
