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 Ararat tribe of Aborigines were made an offer to appear and dance which was accepted with avidity. Upon the curtain being raised the dance commenced; and the strict time kept, together with their various steps, completely astonished the audience. Performances on Wednesday and Thursday with a grand evening's entertainment is to be given at the Royal on Saturday evening next.
