Boys from Djarragun College perform dances from Murray Island in the Torres Strait during a performance at the Sound Shell in Cairns. They sing and dance “A.T. up” (about the Hammersley Iron Train, on which some Islander men used to work) and “Au meta lug bawki” (about Calm weather and sea) and then march off the stage; the singers still keep going for a while, however.
