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.
On Christmas Eve the black held a corroboree drawing a large number of spectators with a collection hat passed around afterwards.
