This weekend I had the pleasure of coming across Meeanjin Markets in the city. I sat crossed legged on the lovely little cushions they provided, with many other onlookers, to watch the beautiful traditional dances of the Aboriginal and Torres Islander Groups. So much to note, Brisbane City Council facilitating and staging this in the heart of the city. The pride of the dancers and the stories connected to the various dances which are always related to the audience. A didgeridoo competition.The inclusion of the young ones who learn to feel connected to their roots and to carry on traditions handed down through the elders over the years. The stalls selling beautiful arts and crafts and the opportunity to try some Bush Tucker, indigenous food. A lovely celebration of Indigenous and Islander culture in Brisbane.
