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.; A corroboree took place with over 100 blacks and witnessed by 5000 spectators. Price of admission was 1 shilling in the grandstand and sixpence in the ground. Following night's corroboree on Saturday 30th May was 'more successful'.
