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.
200 Aborigines engaged in leaf picking at Mr. T. Ingham's Eucalyptus Oil Works at Wallaroo Station advertised to perform a grand corroboree. Tickets including travel by train from Rockhampton were £1. About 60 Aborigines, 30 of each sex ended up performing. £1 was handed over to Dido to spend amongst his employees.
