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.; Before the declaration of the state of poll at Kelso, George Suttor (an Aboriginal native) addressed the crowd and then sung a native song and danced a corroboree much to the amusement of all assembled.
