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 large camp of local blacks performed a corroboree for the arrival of Lord Stradbroke. Between 50 to 80 natives took part. It was a spectacular affair in which a real fight took place between two natives.
