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.
The night after centennial celebrations there was a feast for the Aborigines after which they held a corroboree. There were about 300 blacks and the display drew a crowd. The Agricultural association gave them 3 meals, tobacco and a roasted bullock as well as tea, sugar, bread and potatoes.
