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.
A team of Aboriginal cricketers from Wollaga Lake paid a visit to Bega and encountered an eleven of their white countrymen. In the evening a concert was given and concluded with a corroboree.
