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.; At Port Darwin Mr Inspector Foelsche treated visitors including Lord Onslow to an aboriginal corroboree on Monday night.
