This extraordinary dance troupe Djuki Mala, combines ancient traditional dance moves with contemporary nous and creates something wonderful. These guys are from a tiny island in the far north, they're Yolngu folks from Elcho island and they became a Youtube sensation 10 years ago when their rendition of Zorba the Greek got a million hits in 2 weeks.

They're very charismatic, passionate, engaging, energetic and just full of wit and it's hard to watch all of them at once as each one is committing his own kind of mischief! Interspersed with footage of the history of the people and influencers of the group, sad stories and poignant, funny stories and sweet we are brought into the arms of Arnham Land's furthermost reaches.

These fellows are a fine thing to watch and learn and especially laugh with. Wonderful sense of comic timing.

Unreservedly recommended.

10 out of 10 still laughing and Jackie Chan meets Fred Astaire at the disco on the Sid and Nancy Scale.

After you watch this one, hunt up Zorba.

Dreamtime on the Derbarl Yerrigan is a very scenic voyage around the important waters of the area.

Dreamtime on the Derbarl Yerrigan is a very scenic voyage around the important waters of the area. Surrounded with an astonishing view of water and the city lights you are drawn into the charismatic storyteller's (elder Walter McGuire) description of the area before the British invaded.

It's a very interesting cruise, and informative too, looking at the various artifacts Elder McGuire had brought, particularly the 200 year old message stick. I was really taken with the two songs which Mr McGuire performed - I could have listened to them for much longer, they were so skillfully performed and very moving.

The one koora koora story he related belongs to his family to tell, but if you want to know one version of it, it's written on the wall of the Chevron Gardens facing the Derbarl Yerrigan. (Swan River)

The Crystal Swan was an excellent venue for this experience, and a very interesting experience all around.

8/10 Fascinating and a good tray of thali when you're peckish on the Sid & Nancy Scale.

Boorna Waanginy was a very impressive display!

Boorna Waanginy was a very impressive display! Taking the koodjal djinang (looking both ways - both the indigenous knowledge and modern science) it interweaves the nature of this region, the history of the movement of the Nyungar people on their boodjar and the serious concerns of environmental scientists, with a how you can help at the end. This is quite an immersive display, being projected on to great trees that are some of the tallest in the area. It's very impressive to walk amongst giant creatures and fish, as the 6 seasons flow around you. Very impressive, truly breathtaking, and should this event be repeated, a must see. 10/10 Moorditj! and Royal De Lux by night on the Sid and Nancy Scale.

My post about tonight keeps seeming to disappear for me, so if you could just give me a +1 to let me know you're aware that it's all on for tonight, that'd be great.

All on tonight.

All on tonight.

Two more shows left - and if you want a good laugh I highly recommend this energetic and polished show.

Two more shows left - and if you want a good laugh I highly recommend this energetic and polished show. Watch as just 4 highly skilled performers enact the entire Roman Senate, as well as the engaging Cardenio, William Shakespeare, Detectivus and the entire lot!

Very witty and you may even get a chance to stab Julius Caesar himself, with critique from the cast.

There's a lot of action in this show, and the love of the bard shines through. And the love of Dr Who - it's a time travel piece after all. With rapid costume changes and constant witty dialogue it's a very impressive performance.

The meals at the Brisbane hotel are also very nice, sit by the the goldfish pond for a pleasant surround.

9/10 Hilarity ensues and Tim Curry's butler from Clue had a funny thing happen to him on his way to the Forum on the Sid and Nancy scale. #fringeworld #fringeworld2019
