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.
Grand corroboree with King Tommy and King Jemmy present from two tribes. 150 natives were present with two to three hundred spectators from Moonta present.
