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.
Corroboree given by Aboriginal people on their land for non-Indigenous residents of Coolgardie: 'the quiet... gave place to ... metallic music .... At intervals, performers left their places [by the fire] and performed a ... backward movement.' The performance at the Aboriginals' camp was located outside the town of Coolgardie; it was not a permanent site.
