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.; After dinner visitors were entertained by the sight of a corroboree danced bya dozen or so blackfellows in front of a large fire before the Hughes' Royal Hotel.
