On the weekend I had the pleasure of taking some promo shots of the Bunjil Aboriginal Dance Group. Grandad, the patriarch of the group mentioned to me in passing several months ago that he had very few good photos of the dancers even though the group is over 17 years old. I volunteered to attend the next function and take some photos.

Bunjil opened the Doveton Show on Sunday with a Welcome to Country ceremony consisting of several traditional and a contemporary dance. The dance troupe are composed of children as young as 2 through young adults and features several women. Most of the time Aboriginal dance troupes are all male affairs so it is enlightening to see the female dances in traditional costumes.

I took 335 photos that I need to have developed for Grandad and the gang. Have a look at my flickr set to see a few choice ones I have picked out.
