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.; 20 Poolamacca blacks indulged in a corroboree. A little after 8 o'clock a number of people attracted by the news of the indended festivities assembled and watched on. A collection was taken up for the aboriginals which totalled £2 10p, 6d. Barrier Miner reports 500 attendance, Sydney Morning Herald reports 200 attendance.
