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.
In the evening a corroboree of natives from Murray and Hommond Islands was held in front of the Drill Shed in honour of the Governor-General's visit (Lord Northcote). An extra bag of sugar was held out as reward for a good performance.
