Brisbane as one for Erub United
Thursday Island/Horn Island Ferry Timetable from 15/10/2022
A Torres Strait Islander dance troupe representing all of Brisbane’s Torres Strait Island community danced at Beenleigh at the opening ceremony of last weekend’s Murri vs Koori Rugby League competition, featuring 2022 Murri Knockout winners Erub United.
Organisers were Corina Reuben and her father Rupert.
“I was given the opportunity by Erub United to help them out in locating a dance group to perform at the QMC Interstate Challenge Rugby League Comp 2023,” Corina said.
“So with the help and support from my father Rupert, who is very well known within our Brisbane Community, we organised a Torres Strait Islander group to perform.
“As we live in the Capital City of Queensland, Brisbane it was fitting for all our families come together as one in unity.
“So I reached out and everyone from various age groups came to our dance practices.
“The Brisbane Torres Strait Island Community came together from all different islands to share the beauty of our songs and dance with the Community of Brisbane, and to show our love and support for Erub United.
“From all different various of age groups all came and we were very excited to take part in this movement.
“It was great to see Elders passing down their knowledge to our younger generation.”
She said the community had also organised a welcome dinner for the Erub team the night before.
“I brought our mothers and sisters together to help cook for Erub United Welcome to Brisbane Dinner,” she said.
“It was a blessing to do, we didn’t receive any funding to do this dinner, it was all out of love, respect, culture and family.
“We shared and ate together as one, this is what community is – unity as one and togetherness.”
