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 the park for the Ambulance Carnival by fourteen aboriginals. Admission by silver coin. It was announced that a large number arriving on Tuesday would join a massed corrobooree in the park on Wednesday night.
