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.
The blacks held a mammoth corroboree near Payne's Find. There are estimated to be between 400 and 500 of them present from Geraldton and district and as far as Eucla.
