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.; All the aboriginals within a hundred miles assembled to receive their blankets and make a big corroboree about 180 being present. The Governor was present. A bullock was roasted for the natives but it wasn't enough food.
