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 given to interested residents. King Jacky demanded cash of any denomination for a ticket. The Coorparoo folk loaded him up with pennies. Newspapers reported some 53 blacks of both sexes are running an aboriginal theatrical company running the show on approved "white" lines, commingled with the "corroboree" element.
