Yulu Burri Ba - Dancers of the sand and the sea. This initiative is to address current shortfalls in Indigenous Cultural opportunities as well as assisting attempts to preserve both land and culture. The beginning of an expanding base for opportunity in the Cultural/performing Arts industry, we hope the dance group becomes a stepping stone or building block for young people to shape their own destiny.

NAIDOC opens for 2010 in Brisbane
Last Sunday we rose early to get to musgrave Park for the official opening of BBrisbane's Celebrations. What a deadly day it was too. Nunka was with us, Kimmy, Matty, Patty, Tiga, Reilly, Kaiyu and Rosie all danced. Patty n Nunka did a smoking ceromony for the elders and there were speakers toaking about how NAIDOC began and who was involved. Another uncle spoke about how we need to be part of the grass roots, low key events around town as well as the Big days like Family Day. And questioned appointed leaders in the lime light as they are always absent from these events. Hhhhhhmmmmm....... Something for us all to think about hey. Their was a feed from Kupmurri delights and it was good to be with mob on the mainland again.

Welcome Big whales
Thank you to all the organisers of the annual Lantern parade and whale welcoming at Adder Rock for our opportunity to come and be a part of a special time for us all on the island and along the coasts.
Dancing up the storm on Saturday 26th July was good fun... to watch, it would have been more fun up there. All the dancers were so confident and happy. They made us all proud, thanks to Josh for making the day one to remember with his Songs.
With at least 30 of us on the bus, the dancers were Jeleisha, Remona, Guyanna, Helen, Gavin, Valley, Amanda, Kyalla, Mirakai, Kevin, Reilly, Tiga, Tamirakai, Patrick, Jedda, Learna, Yulu, Huny, Sila, Shara Jeneequa, Eugene and Emit on Didge.
Deadly to see everyone dancing so deadly and knowing the song and dance!
