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 aborigines from the Hopkins tribe and the Wannon tribes had "one big corroboree" in the rising ground opposite the Hamilton Inn. A number of the residents of the Grange were spectators.
