Aboriginal culture in Numbulwar

Men of the Yirritja moiety, painted with red ochre and white clay, emerge from the secret ground and perform the dance associated with the Catfish totem, with light steps, hopping on each leg; this is followed by the Bandicoot totem dance, where they sit on their haunches, moving forward. The men and boys are painted up in their respective moiety designs and emerge running, dancing in two lines towards each other; first dancers of the Dua moiety, followed by those of the Yirritja with very distinctive body decorations.
