'The Naked Boy and the Crocodile' at The Opera House
It was a glorious day when 160 kids piled into the Opera House for a sneak preview
of The Naked Boy and The Crocodile. The event featured Donna Ingram doing a welcome
to country, 20 young dancers from the Darlington Aboriginal Dance Group, and Andy
Griffiths talking about his work in remote communities. Andy also read the stories
