TANDERRUM

I  was delighted to hear that the Melbourne Festival will again present TANDERRUM at Federation Square to celebrate its opening.

In 2013 Elders and members of the five clans of the Kulin nation performed the first ceremony since the founding of modern Melbourne in 1835. It was a beautiful and meaningful event celebrating story, song and dance.

This year it will take place on Friday 10 October 2014.
