The Yulu Burri Ba dancers and the Quandamooka people welcoming the whales to the waters surrounding Moreton Bay at sunset. The traditional ceremony welcoming the whales is known as Yura Yalingbila. I really enjoyed hearing the story about how the whale and dolphin got their blowhole after they were speared by the eaglehawk. A big fight broke out between all the animals from the land, sea and air. The eaglehawk stole the spear from the goanna and hit the whale and dolphin. The whale was so upset, he went back South. But every year he comes back looking for his brother in law dolphin. Thank you to Russell for telling the tale on the boat to Moreton. Russell does a much better job of telling the story! #Quandamooka #Moreton #Island #MoretonBay #Indigenous #Dreamtime #Stories #Traditional #Culture #Queensland #Australia #Dolphins #Whales #Yura #Yalingbila #Yulu #Burri #Ba #Dancers #YuluBurriBa
