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.
About 70 blacks gave a corroboree to the Governor. Later on a luncheon was given in the Divisional Board Hall and the annual distribution of blankets to the blacks took place.
