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 native corroboree was provided on the Esplanade opposite the Government residence for the Governor. It was witnessed by a large crowd. A party of 20 or 30 Cook's tourists were on board the S.S. Guthrie bound for Japan. They landed just in time to see the native corroboree.
