This 1988 film shows some of the songs and dances of the Lardil people of Mornington Island and the Borroloola community.

Of particular interest is the use of the overtone note in the didgeridoo accompaniment.

The sugarbag (Wild Honey) dance with didgeridoo accompaniment is one of the more popular dances performed by Aboriginal groups in Queensland, NSW and Victoria today.

Total running length is 29 minutes.
