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.; Lord Jersey and party arrived at Port Darwin. In the evening the visitors witnessed a very large blackfellows' corroboree. It is said to have cost him a "fiver" in food and tobacco.
