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.
A number of black fellows formed themselves into a procession in the streets of Brisbane and levied contributions for a corroboree upon the tradesmen whose shutters were down for their "merry-making".
