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.
In the evening a corroboree was performed by 40 natives for explorer Alexander Forrest and his brother. He presented them with tobacco in return to their great satisfaction.
