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.; Local aboriginals with the assistance of their friends from the neighbouring towns gave a corroboree. About 20 aboriginals took part and almost the whole town turned out to witness the event. The performance lasted for about 2 hours and a collection was taken up.
