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.
A corroboree by the Lake tribes for the arrival of His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, The Duke of Edinburgh. About 30-40 women and 30 of the Point Macleay men performed the corroboree. In return the Duke's piper Farquharson played the pipes.
