Torres Strait Islander Dancing in Queensland

Spirited Mer Island dance

A spirited men's dance by young and old at a feast by Murray Islanders in a Cairns hall, to the sound of drums and singing. To show appreciation and give encouragement, women move among the dancers, showering their shoulders with white powder.
