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.
The children's hospital carnival was opened on 24th December and ran for 3 weeks. The 3rd week's programme included a native corroboree. The West Australian reports 24 aboriginal performers, The Daily News reports 50 natives took part (male and female), and The Sunday Times reports 20 performers.
