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.
Annual races and sports day held on boxing day in Port Elliot. At night the natives gave a grand corroboree in character, which to those who never witnessed the like before was a great treat.
