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.; 300-400 natives from Wellington, Goolwa, Encounter Bay, Mundoo, Hindmarsh Island and Meningie performed a grand corroboree - the Murray tribes having something new to show their friends in the south. Witnessed by several hundred spectators. Repeated on the Wednesday night.
