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.; Large numbers of citizens visited the Aborigines' Home today to witness a corroboree in which about 150 blacks took part in honour of Mr John Cameron, an old and highly-respected resident of the Upper Clarence. It was held in the daytime including a number of blacks from the Richmond.
