Description

Layer Warning:
Only corroborees that were recorded can be represented, such that these are often those witnessed by and/or performed for colonists and other audiences. Their distribution therefor reflects colonial presence rather than the distribution of corroborees.
In the evening a corroboree was given by Mary River natives in honour of Lord Northcote. The king of the tribe presented Lord Northcote with a bunch of spears.
