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.; Described in the Mt Barker Courier 'Some Salvation Army natives held a corroborree at Mount Barker last. Saturday night. In their wild state they would not have charged for admission.'
