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.; The opening of the Ballarat/Geelong railway works includes a poet, the roasting of a bullock, competition in long pole climbing, greased pig hunting and other classical exercises plus to cap it off in the evening a grand corroboree in the market place by the natives. The Hobart Courier reports the corroboree took place on the Eastern Beach followed by fireworks.
