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 annual races took place and included a race between the whites and the blacks. At night a grand corroboree took place which pleased the spectators. The sum of £1 was given from the general fund for the performance.
