In this episode of Pacific Pulse, Brendon Telfer is in Solomon Islands where soccer is more than just a game. The sport is credited with uniting the country after years of ethnic tensions as Solomon Islands emerges as a powerhouse of Pacific talent. Tania Nugent is at Australias indigenous festival, The Dreaming, in Queensland, where she meets Torres Strait islander, Aunty Bakoi Boulton. Torres Strait islanders are indigenous Australians but their culture bears many similarities to their close neighbours, Papua New Guinea, which is evident as we finish with the striking costumes and rhythms of the dance troupe Tagai Zugubau, named after the Southern Cross constellation of stars. http://australianetwork.com/pacificpulse/
