The Australian Aboriginal League presents its contribution to the Centenary of Victoria and Jubilee of the Commonwealth celebrations : an Aboriginal Moomba "Out of the dark". Souvenir programme. (Melbourne : Australian Aborigines League, 1951)

Out of the dark was staged at the Princess Theatre, Melbourne. Among the actors were Doug Nicholls, Harold Blair and William Onus. It was Bill Onus who devised the name, "An Aboriginal Moomba", for the entertainment. In 1955 the word "Moomba" was adopted by the Melbourne City Council for its annual celebration and parade.

Out of the dark was a pageant written by Jean Campbell tracing the life of the Aborigines before and after European settlement. It featured traditional songs and tribal dancing.
