Our First Wadamah

What a deadly one it was too for our first time together.  All the little people were so deadly!  


On Sunday 16th May we performed at the Southern Cross Catholic College in Scarbourogh.  Some of us were leaving the island on the 7am barge just to get there and some of the younger ones were having trouble sleeping from the excitement.


Tiga and Reilly know we can do it "We've done it mum" they said on our way home.  Yep, we've taken the first steps boys.  Believe in ourselves and the worlds our oyster - qwampi lol.


Thank you Raymond (Nunka) for the beautiful job you did singing and talking through the dance meanings etc.  The way you begun was something I always wanted to see and seldom do, we have to acknowledge the almighty ones first.  Too deadly you are, but you know that.


Mara and lil bub in belly joined in and made it that bit more extra special and we are grateful, thank you also for driving out, bringing with you Garlan, Nunka, Meika, Nyarri and Casia.  Thank you supporters!


Big thanks to Tuwai n Ngirri for putting in there all and loving their dance.  And to Nan Corin for helping them to get their.  We hope you got back to the fair in time and had a deadly day all together.


Tiga was pumped for weeks and excited all the way to the stage, he makes his mum so proud, good example for brothers coming through.  Always dancing, always loving it, he don't ever stop.  Reilly was able to help the other younger fulla's pick up the dancers and we thought it was deadly for him to show such leadership.  Too deadly Reilly, looking after mob!


Patrick you always dance beautifully (and of course I'm going to say that, chuckle), you explain what needs to be done with such patience and the way you get the boys ready to dance is really something.  Thank you for your huge contributions to getting this group to where it is.


Photo's coming soon, stay posted for details of our next event.
