This is from the National Archive of Australia. Caption reads:

Sonia and William McMahon welcomed by Yolngu people at Yirrkala on their visit to the Northern Territory in 1972.

Notice Wandjuk Marika to the right of the pics in body paint and spears. Roy Marika is in suit with clapsticks. I can't see who the yidaki player is though.
