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 corroboree was held in which many tribes took part. About 40 aborigines from Coraki, Cabbage Tree Island and other centres performed with about 400 spectators present. The receipts amounted to £15.
