A welcome song, Keriba ged nor e (Babana) is sung by women beating snake-skin drums and boys from Djarragun Colleg perform the traditional “Kab Kar” dances from Murray Island in the Torres Strait depicting daily life in the islands: Naigai Kawa (Looking for fish) and Sambai ba (Finding the fish and scooping them up). They dance in pairs, wearing the feather “dhari” headdress, in Cairns during the Mabo Day celebrations.
