Under a vast desert sky at dusk, an elder wrapped in a blue blanket sits at the heart of a circle of Dusty Feet Mob dancers – children, teens and young adults – on a red sandhill in Port Augusta. Some hold sticks, all gaze toward the horizon with calm strength, embodying intergenerational connection, storytelling, and deep ties to Country.
A young Aboriginal woman from Dusty Feet Mob stands in golden twilight, her face glowing with determination and quiet strength. Wind lifts her hair as she gazes upward, with younger dancers softly blurred behind her under dramatic outback sky and distant floodlights – a powerful cinematic portrait of cultural pride and future leadership.
In the red dust of Port Augusta at night, a fierce young Aboriginal woman leads a line of Dusty Feet Mob children as they run barefoot toward the bright headlights of an approaching vehicle. Dust kicks up around them in this striking, high-contrast scene that captures raw energy, protection, and the unbreakable spirit of community.

Dusty Feet Mob

From the sand hills of Port Augusta to the bustling streets of Adelaide, Dusty Feet Mob's young Aboriginal performers, aged between six and thirty-one years, dance their way into the hearts and minds of their enraptured audiences, using the power of song and dance to tell stories of the Stolen Generations and help heal the pain of the past.
