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.
Several white folk strolled up to watch the antics of an Aboriginal corroboree. One of the sable warriors demanded a shilling per head from the visitors.
