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.
Mrs Law assisted by some other ladies gave an al fresco dinner to the company of aborigines now "sitting down" in the neighbourhood. The charity of the ladies was fully appreciated and a corroboree was given in return to the delight of those present.
