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.
About 400-500 natives of the Marranunga, Mullick Mullick and Waggarnen tribes took part in a corroboree as part of the Governor General's visit (Lord Northcote). The next morning supplies of blankets, flour, tobacco, tea and sugar were distributed among them.
