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.
Native invited Alfred William Howitt's search party to stop and participate in a corroboree and eat fish and nardoo. 3 days prior the search party had found Robert O'Hara Burke near Cooper's Creek and buried him.
