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.
As part of the Amusements for Christmas Week in South Grafton, Tuesday and Wednesday sports were held at the Aborigines Home on the Common with a corroboree by 26 strapping blacks and feast to form part of the programme. 120 representatives of the Clarence River blacks mustered with over 500 visitors present. The week will be a carnival to the Aborigines who are to be royally entertained with various descriptions of edibles ad lib.
