Aboriginal dancers from Barunga: Final dance

ozoutback.com.au
Men from Barunga (formerly known as Bamyili) in the Katherine region of the Northern Territory of Australia perform a dance illustrating spearfishing, followed by a very skilful solo; they then take their leave. This was recorded in 1978 in Lajamanu with an old 8 mm film camera, so the technical quality is poor.
