AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A typical night at a dance hall of 1950s Meanjin (Brisbane) would start with a three-piece band playing songs for the Elders. Hosted in The Boathouse by the river, they were multi-generational events populated by Indigenous people in their spiffiest clothes, whether that meant a home-sewn dress or a lime green suit and hat.' (Introduction)
