Welcome, children!

Nangga! Nangga! Yakarti!

Tonight will be our Ceremony.

Our family gathers as the fire burns.

The smoke rises up as we take it in turns . . .

Then clapsticks tap - one, two, three -

but a stick is missing! Where could it be?

Joyful and full of fun, Ceremony invites you to celebrate the rich traditions of dance, family, community and caring for Country from the world's oldest continuous culture.

Includes a selection of words from the Adnyamathanha language group with a visual glossary and a QR code linked to a reading by Adam Goodes.
