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.; Over a dozen members of the Tury tribe of aborigines from Mr. W. H. Bowman's station gave a corroboree with the permission of the town council. The event attracted hundreds of people.
