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.; A corroboree was carried out at the Tenterfield Show. Some 25 blacks took part in the ceremony. About a thousand people visited the showground to witness the corroboree.
