Children from Djarragun College, a school for indigenous students near Cairns, Far North Queensland, perform dances from Murray Island in the Torres Strait, accompanied by singing and drumming during a performance at the Sound Shell in Cairns: The boys march on stage and perform "Sama iye rofe le" (a song from the Pacific); then the girls come on stage and do their dance; the boys join them and they perform a dance accompanied by traditional chanting and the "Silent Dance" accompanied by just drumming.
