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.; At Night Jack, al[ia]s. Burigon King of the Newcastle Native Tribe, with about 40 men women & children of his Tribe came by Capt. Wallis's desire to the Govt. House between 7 & 8 o'clock at Night, and entertained with a Carauberie in high stile [sic] for Half an Hour in the grounds in rear of Govt.
