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.
After the great success of the previous corroboree in April, another corroboree took place at 8 o'clock to enable the officers and crew of the Tauranga and Penguin to observe. The use of the ship's blue lights gave the show an additional charm. About 300 or 400 persons stood around the fires.
